Media type: E-Article Title: Titanium‐Salan‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Oxidation of Sulfides and Kinetic Resolution of Sulfoxides with H2O2 as the Oxidant Contributor: Bryliakov, Konstantin P.; Talsi, Evgenii P. imprint: Wiley, 2008 Published in: European Journal of Organic Chemistry Language: English DOI: 10.1002/ejoc.200800277 ISSN: 1434-193X; 1099-0690 Keywords: Organic Chemistry ; Physical and Theoretical Chemistry Origination: Footnote: Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Asymmetric oxidation of sufides to sulfoxides by aqueous hydrogen peroxide with catalysis by titanium‐salan complexes is presented. Optically active sulfoxides have been obtained with good to high enantioselectivities (up to 97 % <jats:italic>ee</jats:italic>) by a tandem enantioselective oxidation and kinetic resolution procedure, the catalyst performing over 500 turnovers with no loss of enantioselectivity.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
