MNPs-supported acidic catalysts in oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides

Abstract

Sulfoxide derivatives are also prevalent structural motifs in many drugs and biologically active molecules. Oxidation of sulfides is the best strategy for the preparation of the sulfoxides. In recent times, a series of acids supported on magnetic nanoparticles have been reported for the oxidation of sulfides to the sulfoxides. In this paper, attention is focused on the fabrication of MNPs-supported acidic catalysts and their catalytic applications in the oxidation of sulfides to the sulfoxides.
