A mild, chemoselective and sustainable biocatalysed synthesis of sulfoxides has been developed exploiting CALB and using AcOEt with a dual role of more environmentally friendly reaction solvent and enzyme substrate. A series of sulfoxides, including the drug omeprazole, have been synthesised in high yields and with excellent E-factors.

The selective oxidation of various sulfides to sulfoxides by a simple, efficient, and environmentally benign method is of prime focus. In this paper, we have explored a highly efficient protocol for the oxidation of alkyl aryl sulfides to sulfoxides with high selectivities catalyzed by La2O3 in the presence of 70% t-BuOOH solution (water). We obtained predominantly the monooxygenated product. The over oxidation of sulfides to sulfones was not observed under these conditions. The resulting products are obtained in good to excellent yields within a reasonable time without the use of ligands and other additives. The epoxidation of the double bond as well as allylic oxidation are not observed with allyl sulfides. Sulfones can be obtained quantitatively by altering the reaction conditions. The surface morphology and the catalyst reusability were verified by XRD, AFM and SEM techniques. The surface area of the La2O3 was measured using BET isotherms.
