Abstract
Different Iron (III) species were used as catalysts in sulfoxidation reactions giving excellent yields and high chemoselectivity. Among the iron (III) species, the best one was a solid β-cyclodextrin-FeBr3 complex. Sulfoxidation takes place with high chemoselectivity in the presence of other groups such as isothiocyanate. Good results were obtained when these reactions were analyzed using green chemistry metrics.
