29. 4, while a partial decomposition to benzaldehyde results after further addition of TBHP. Moreover, we observed that TBHP alone does not oxidize the sulfoxide while it promotes a slow oxidation of the sulfide.

42. It is interesting to point out that also in Ti-trialkanolamine catalyzed oxidations, (see ref 6d) the highest enantioselectivity (ee 84%) is achieved when phenyl benzyl sulfide is oxidized with the (R,R,R)-tris(2-hydroxy-2-phenylethyl)amine complex, i.e., with a ligand bearing phenyl groups.
