title: Asymmetric oxidation of sulfides under solvent-free or highly concentrated conditions.
abstract: The aluminium(salalen) complex was found to be an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric oxidation of sulfides under solvent-free or highly concentrated conditions, in which an only 0.002-0.01 mol% catalyst loading was sufficient to obtain optically active sulfoxides in high yield with high enantioselectivity.
