摘要
A variety of phenyl alkyl sulfides were oxidized enantioselectively with NaIO_4 in chiral micellar systems formed from eight chiral surfactants,to give optical active sulfoxides.The enantiomer excesses ranged from 1.6 to 15.0%.To understand the mechanistic detail of this asymmetric oxi- dation in chiral micelle,the effects of structure both in substrates and surfactants on the optical yield of the oxidation were studied and discussed.Generally,increasing the alkyl chain length both in sur- factants and in substrates enhances the optical yield,also the surfactant with hydroxy group at its appropriate position gives better enantioselectivity,suggesting the enzymic characteristics of the chiral micelle.
