ABSTRACT
A catalyst free and chemoselective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides or sulfones was developed using 1,1,2,2-tetrahydroperoxy-1,2-diphenylethane as a new oxidant. This scope has shown the achievement of various sulfoxides and sulfones which were obtained selectively in high yields at room temperature.
