Peroxymolybdenum Complexes in Sulfide to Sulfone Oxidations
Peroxymolybdenum complexes have been studied as reagents for the oxidation of sulfides to sulfones.The MoO5 * H2O * HMPA complex is a useful reagent for the chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfones, and hydrolytically and acid sensitive sulfones can be prepared using this reagent.
