摘要
The recent development of selective oxidation of aromatic sulfides with molecular oxygen was highlighted.The sulfoxides and sulfones could be obtained by simply switching the reaction media,i.e.,bis(2-butoxyethyl)ether(BBE)or poly(ethylene glycol)dimethyl ether(PEGDME).The application of the high-boiling-point polyether as an initiator and green media can eliminate the need of large quantities of additives and volatile solvents.This strategy represents an economic and eco-friendly method that could find potential applications.
