Abstract: Abstract: The asymmetric oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides is realised with layered double hydroxides (LDH)-supported OsO4 catalyst using N-methyl morpholine N-oxide as co-oxidant and (DHQD)2PHAL (hydroquinidine 1,4-phthalazinediyl diether) as a chiral ligand in good yields albeit moderate enantiomeric excess (e.e''s).
