Abstract: Aseries of new chiral oxazoline-Ti(OiPr)4 complexes were synthesized, which were firstly and successfully applied to the catalytic asymmetric oxidation of sulfides and resulteDIn chiral sulfoxides. The reactivity and enantioselectivity were strongly influenced by the structure of the oxazolines. When (4S,5S )-4,5-dihydro-4,5-diphenyl-2-(2'-hydroxy-3'-tert-butylphenyl) oxazoline was used as the ligand, 2.0 mol of TBHPwas useDIn the oxidation of methyl phenyl sulfide, the sulfoxide was obtaineDIn96% e.e. . The influence of solvent, amount of catalyst, counterion and other conditions on the reaction was also investigated.
