“…Sulfoxides are important intermediates in the synthesis of many natural and pharmalogical products [17,18], such as antibacterial, antifungal, anti-atherosclerotic, antihypertensive [19], cardiotonic agents, psychotonics and vasodilators [20]. Many reagents are used for the oxidation of sulfides such as nitric acid, KMnO 4 , m-chloroperbenzoic acid, sodium metaperiodate, hydrogen peroxide, sulfinyl peroxy compounds, 4-methylmorpholine n-oxide/osmium tetroxide, peroxotungstate complexes [21], MeNO 2 solution in dilute HNO 3 /H 2 SO 4 [22] and etc.…”
