Abstract Readily available copper showed efficient activity and great selectivity for the homogeneous catalysis of oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides using molecular oxygen as the oxidant. The reaction proceeds under mild conditions in the presence of a catalytic amount of TEMPO. Importantly, the catalysts could be conveniently recovered and reused. And this methodology was proved to be applicable for the transformation of various aromatic and aliphatic sulfides into the corresponding sulfoxides with high conversion and high selectivity.
