Heteropoly acid/NaY zeolite as a reusable solid catalyst for highly efficient synthesis of gem-dihydroperoxides and 1, 2, 4, 5-tetraoxanes

Journal article, 2016

Urea-2,2-dihydroperoxypropane as a solid oxidant which can be stored for several months without any loss in its activity has proved its capability to oxidize sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones under catalyst-free and mild conditions. This approach is a cost-effective and environmentally benign methodology via which the products have been synthesized in high yields and short reaction times.
