Sulfur-containing organic compounds such as sulfides,sulfoxides and sulfones, have played significant roles in the fields of organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals.The selective oxidation of the parent sulfides has been considered as one of the most straightforward methods for the construction of sulfoxides and sulfones.Therefore, a plethora of oxidative systems have been developed for the selective oxidation of sulfides, in which strong oxidants like organic/inorganic peroxides, hypervalent iodines, highpressure oxygen, were required with/without the catalysis of transition met...
