Molybdatophosphoric acid as an efficient catalyst for the catalytic and chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using urea hydrogen peroxide as a commercially available oxidant
An efficient procedure for the chemoselective oxidation of alkyl (aryl) sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides using urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in the presence of Movies a catalytic amount of molybdatophosphoric acid at room temperature is described.The advantages of described method are: generality, high yield and chemoselectivity, short react
