Benzyltriphenylphosphonium chlorochromate (btppcc): An efficient and novel reagent for oxidation of sulfides to the corresponding sulfoxides under non-aqueous conditions

Abstract

This paper describes an efficient and easy method for oxidation of sulfides 1 to their corresponding sulfoxides 2 with benzyltriphenylphosphonium chlorochromate (BTPPCC) in high yields under non-aqueous conditions.
