Abstract
An hydrazone Schiff base-iron(III) complex using salicylidene benzoyl hydrazine (L) as ligand has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, 1H and 13C NMR and UV–Vis spectroscopy. Oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides in one-step was conducted by this complex catalyst using urea hydrogen peroxide (UHP) in mixture of CH 2Cl 2/CH 3OH (1:1) under air at room temperature. The effect of the reaction conditions on the oxidation of methylphenylsulfide was studied by varying the amount of the catalyst, reaction temperature, reaction time and the amount of UHP. The results showed that using this system in the oxidation of sulfides, sulfoxides were obtained as the main products, together with variable amounts of sulfones (⩽9%), depending on the nature of the substrate.
