Abstract

Abstract : The switchable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via selective oxidation of sulfides using cheap N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) in water under mild conditions. Abstract : A practical and mild method for the switchable synthesis of sulfoxides or sulfones via selective oxidation of sulfides using cheap N -fluorobenzenesulfonimide (NFSI) as the oxidant has been developed. These highly chemoselective transformations were simply achieved by varying the NFSI loading with H2 O as the green solvent and oxygen source without any additives. The good functional group tolerance makes the strategy valuable.
