Abstract

Controlled oxidation of organic sulfides to sulfoxides under ambient conditions has been achieved by a series of titanium isopropoxide complexes that use environmentally benign H2O2 as a primary oxidant. Specifically, the [N, N′-bis (2-oxo-3-R1-5-R2-phenylmethyl)-N, N′-bis (methylene-R3)-ethylenediamine] Ti (OiPr) 2 [R1= t-Bu, R2= Me, R3= C7H5O2 (1b); R1= R2= t-Bu, R3= C7H5O2 (2b); R1= R2= Cl, R3= C7H5O2 (3b) and R1= R2= Cl, R3= ...
