43 - 054Oxidations Catalyzed by Rhenium(V) Oxides. Part 2. Clean SulfideOxidation by Urea-Hydrogen Peroxide. — The title reaction isefficiently carried out for a series of sulfides. Even a partial enantioselectiveoxidation becomes possible [cf. (VII) → (VIII)]. Sulfone formation is notobserved even when excess urea complex is used. — (GUNARATNE, H. Q. N.;MCKERVEY, M.
