Abstract:

Titanium-containing K10 has been synthesised and characterised by X-ray diffraction, UV-visible reflectance, solid state NMR spectroscopy, N₂ 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.

More about this publication?

• The Journal of Chemical Research is a monthly journal which has a broad international authorship and publishes research papers and reviews in all branches of experimental chemistry.

  Recent papers have described new synthetic methods, new heterocyclic compounds, new natural products, and the inorganic chemistry of metal complexes. Now in its 34th year, the Journal of Chemical Research was established in 1977 as a joint venture by the British, French and German chemical societies and maintains the high standards set by the founding societies. Each paper is independently peer reviewed and only carefully evaluated contributions are accepted.
