The susceptibility of some components of sediment acid-volatile sulfide (AVS) to chemical oxidation is a critical factor impacting accurate measurement of AVS in sediment samples. This well-documented susceptibility to oxidation led to the requirement for oxygen-free conditions in the analytical method developed for AVS. In light of this acute potential to oxidize, the serendipitous finding tha...

Nitrobenzene dioxygenase (NBDO) from Comamonas sp. is shown here to perform enantioselective oxidation of aromatic sulfides. Several para-substituted alkyl aryl sulfides were examined and it was found that the activity of the enzyme is dependent on the size of the substrate. Saturation mutagenesis was performed on different residues in the active site in order to improve activity and selectivit...

NaBrO3 combined with NH4Cl is found to be an efficient reagent for the transformation of sulfides into sulfoxides in aqueous and under mild conditions.

An efficient electrochemical flow process for the selective oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides and sulfones N-cyanosulfoximines has been developed. In total, 69 examples sulfoxides, sulfones, have synthesized in good excellent yields with high current efficiencies. The synthesis was assisted facilitated through a supporting electrolyte-free, fully automated protocol that highlights advantages ...
