Substituent effects and mechanism elucidation of enantioselective sulfoxidation catalyzed by vanadium Schiff base complexes
Abstract
The effects of substituents of the Schiff base ligands on oxovanadium-catalyzed enantioselective sulfoxidation were first systematically studied, and a rational mechanism of enantioselective sulfoxidation based on our experimental data and the reported data is proposed.
