Abstract
The asymmetric oxidation of sulfides to chiral sulfoxides with hydrogen peroxide in good yield and high enantioselectivity has been catalyzed very effectively by chiral vanadium-salan [N,N'-alkyl bis(salicylamine)] complex. The salan ligand shows results superior in terms of reactivity and enantioselectivity to those of salen [N,N'-alkylene bis(salicylideneimine)] analogue, and provides the sulfoxide with opposite configuration. The high enantioselectivity of this reaction is the direct result of the asymmetric oxidation. The efficient kinetic resolution of racemic sulfoxides catalyzed by the vanadium-salan system is also described.
