Self-mediated stereoselective oxidation of thia-capped cyclodextrins.
Self-control: endo-Sulfoxide products can be synthesized selectively by the oxidation of thia-capped cyclodextrins using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (m-CPBA) in water. The reaction occurs by the formation of an oxidant-cyclodextrin inclusion complex. Operating in organic media preferentially leads to exo-sulfoxide products.
