[ 1 ] - H3PW12O40: An Efficient and Green Catalyst for the Facile and Selective Oxidation of Sulfides to Sulfoxides, Applied to the Last Step of the Synthesis of Omeprazole

Omeprazole, (6-methoxy-2-((4-methoxy-3,5-dimethylpyridin-2-yl)methylsulfinyl)-1H-benzimidazole is a well-established prescribed drug, exhibits proton pump inhibitor activity. In this work, a novel, facile, economical and selective oxidation approach using H3PW12O40 as Keggin type heteropolyacids along with H2O2 in the ...
