title: C3-symmetric Ti(IV) triphenolate amino complexes as sulfoxidation catalysts with aqueous hydrogen peroxide.
abstract: [reaction: see text] The Ti(IV) complex 2c bearing a C3-symmetric triphenolate amine ligand is an air and moisture tolerant complex that efficiently catalyzes sulfoxidation reactions at room temperature without previous activation (catalyst loading down to 0.01%, TONs up to 8000, TOFs up to 1700 h-1, quantitative yields). Reactions were performed with aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, which adds value to the methodology from the environmental viewpoint.
