Polymer-Anchored Cu(II) Complex as an Efficient Catalyst for Selective and Mild Oxidation of Sulfides and Oxidative Bromination Reaction
A new polymer-anchored Cu(II) complex has been tested for the oxidation of sulfides and in oxidative bromination reaction with hydrogen peroxide as oxidant. Sulfides have been selectively oxidized to corresponding sulfoxides in excellent yields and in presence of KBr as bromine source, organic substrates have been selectively converted to mono bromo substituted compounds. The polymer-anchored Cu(II) catalyst could be easily recovered by simple filtration and reused more than six times without appreciable loss of its initial activity.
