Description
Summary:Organosulphur compounds can be easily and selectively oxidized to sulfones using a small excess of Oxone® (1.6 eq.) under solventless mechanical milling conditions. This green procedure has been efficiently applied to a series of model compounds and to the desulphurization of medium/high sulphur content paraffins (up to 3000 mg kg −1 ). Chemoselective solvent-free oxidation of organosulphur compounds to sulfones with Oxone® under mechanical milling conditions.
