Abstract
Enantioselective vanadium-catalysed oxidation of aryl benzyl sulfides using Bolm's procedure is accompanied by kinetic resolution in the oxidation of the resulting sulfoxides which enhances the enantiopurities of the sulfoxides recovered (typically >90% ee), albeit with an associated reduction in yield. The effects of ligand, solvent and reaction conditions are discussed in detail.
