A metal-free, environmentally benign oxidation of substituted sulfides directly to their corresponding sulfones is described. Using urea-hydrogen peroxide and phthalic anhydride in ethyl acetate clean conversion into the sulfone was achieved without observation of the possible sulfoxide oxidation product.

Ionic compounds containing the polyoxomolybdate anion [Mo6O19]2- and [(n-C4H9)4P]+ (tetrabutylphosphonium), [(n-C4H9)3P(n-C14H29)]+ (tributyl (tetradecyl)phosphonium), [Bmim]+ (1- butyl-3-methylimidazolium) and [Dbmim]+ (1,2-dimethyl-3-butylimidazolium) cations were prepared and characterized, including the determination of three of the solid state structures by singlecrystal X-ray diffraction. These compounds were applied as catalysts for the epoxidation of olefins with urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) as oxidant in the ionic liquid [Bmim]PF6. Additionally, the oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in several solvents was investigated. The polyoxomolybdate catalysts showed a good performance for epoxidation of olefins as well as for oxidation of sulfides. Furthermore, the catalysts can be recycled several times in oxidation reactions. We present this methodology for the oxidation reaction in a simple, economically, technically, and environmentally benign manner

A new environmentally benign and highly efficient catalytic system [π-C5H5NC16H33]3[PO4(WO3)4]/H2O2/CH3COOC2H5 for the epoxidation of soybean oil displayed excellent activity and high recovery. The change of the catalyst during the reaction was investigated by elemental analysis, FTIR and 31P NMR.
