Owing to such advantages, the attempt has been made to develop heterogeneous oxidation method for sulfides under conventional and microwave conditions using resin bounded t-butyl hydroperoxide. The method succeeded to provide excellent yields in a short reaction time compared to conventional reports. The t-butyl hydroperoxide functionalized resin has been prepared and used as a heterogeneous reagent for the oxidation of sulfides. The recovered heterogeneous polymer support was reused for several times after re-functionalization using t-butyl hydroperoxide without loss in activity. The sulfoxides were prepared under the both conventional as well as microwave conditions from sulfides using supported oxidizing reagent. Copyright@ International Science Community Association
