Chiral sulfoxides are an important group of organosulfur compounds due to a wide range of use in the medicinal and pharmaceutical industry because of their high biological activity. It is of special interest to find methods for obtaining these sulfoxides in high yields and enantiomeric excess. There are different kinds of syntheses, but to be applicable, their effectiveness and generality must be evaluated by their yields and enantiomeric excess values, and their outcomes must be rationalized by explaining their mechanisms and using various calculations. The most well-known way of synthesis, which includes the catalytic oxidation of sulfides, was investigated.
