Description
Summary:Titanium-containing K10 has been synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible reflectance, solid state NMR spectroscopy, N 2 nitrogen adsorption at 77K and chemical analysis. Two different titanium species have identified with a high dispersion in K10. The first is in an isolated penta- and hexa-coordinated state and the second is in the form of polymerised hexacoordinated species, which contains Ti-O-Ti bonds. These titanium species were found to be the catalytic sites that readily interact with oxidant to offer an active and selective catalytic system for the oxidation of sulfides. This catalytic system was studied in the asymmetric oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide, using different types of chiral modifier, and gives excellent conversion and sulfoxide selectivity, together with a significant enantioselectivity in the range of 16–18% ee with (R)-binol.
