On Ti-containing MCM-41 prepared by a template ion-exchange method, sulfide
could be asymmetrically oxidized to sulfoxides in the presence of opticall
y active tartaric acid (54% yield and 30% ee). The oxidation was composed o
f the asymmetric induction to sulfoxides and the subsequent kinetic resolut
ion of sulfoxides.
