Tetrabromoaurate(III) is an efficient catalyst for the oxidn. of sulfides to sulfoxides by nitric acid in a biphasic system (nitromethane/water). The system is selective and can be applied to the oxidn. of any type of dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides and also of diaryl sulfides activated by electron-releasing substituents. The nature of the active species has been investigated in relation to the mechanistic aspects.

Abstract
Tetrabromoaurate(III) is an efficient catalyst for the oxidn. of sulfides to sulfoxides by nitric acid in a biphasic system (nitromethane/water). The system is selective and can be applied to the oxidn. of any type of dialkyl and alkyl aryl sulfides and also of diaryl sulfides activated by electron-releasing substituents. The nature of the active species has been investigated in relation to the mechanistic aspects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
