Abstract
With benzyl phenyl sulfide as a model substrate and H2O2 as an oxidant, high selectivity toward the desired sulfoxide is obtained when using two CuII-amino acid complexes as catalysts, while strong stereospecific obstruction in a 1D helical array of complex 2 enables speedy sulfoxidation with excellent conversion.
