Sulfides have been oxidized selectively to sulfoxides with 9-hydroperoxy-9-phenylxanthene at ambient and reflux temperatures resp. Excellent yields of dialkyl and aralkyl sulfoxides were obtained; diaryl sulfides gave moderate-to-poor yields of sulfoxides. Selective oxidation of allyl Ph sulfide to form sulfoxide without epoxidation was accomplished. These reactions have been proposed to proceed via a heterolytic path which does not involve the intermediacy of the hydroperoxy anion. Trifluoroacetic acid, benzyltrimethylammonium hydroxide, and molybdenum(0) hexacarbonyl catalyzed the oxidation reaction to give high yields of sulfoxides or sulfones, depending on the reaction conditions. Mechanistic aspects of these catalyzed oxidations have been discussed. Advantages of the reaction include the ease of separation of the peroxidic ancillary products from the formed sulfoxides and sulfones, as well as the relatively high stability of the hydroperoxide as compared to other known peroxide reagents.
