SulfoxidesQ 0600 Asymmetric Oxidation Catalysis by a Chiral Al(salalen) Complex: Highly Enan-

tioselective Oxidation of Sulfides with Aqueous Hydrogen Peroxide. — The chiral water-compatible aluminum complex ALC efficiently catalyzes the oxidation of sul-fides by aqueous H2O2 to give the corresponding sulfoxides with good to excellent enantioselectivities. — (YAMAGUCHI, T.; MATSUMOTO, K.; SAITO, B.; KATSUKI*, T.; Angew.
