Abstract

Selectfluor mediates practical and efficient oxidations of sulfides and thiols to provide sulfoxides, sulfones, and thiosulfonates, respectively, at ambient temperature. All these organosulfur compounds can be prepared with nearly quantitative yields by applying eco-friendly H₂O as O-source. The formation of sulfoxides and thiosulfonates takes only a few minutes.
