title: First enantioselective iron-porphyrin-catalyzed sulfide oxidation with aqueous hydrogen peroxide.
abstract: The asymmetric oxidation of sulfides by H(2)O(2) to give optically active sulfoxides (ee up to 90%) was carried out in methanol and water using chiral water-soluble iron porphyrins as catalysts.
