Pt(II) Coordination Complexes as Visible Light Photocatalysts for the Oxidation of Sulfides in Batch and Flow

A new catalytic system for the photooxidation of sulfides based on Pt(II) complexes is presented. The catalyst is able to oxidize a large number of sulfides containing aryl, alkyl, allyl, benzyl, as well as more complex structures such as heterocycles and methionine aminoacid, with complete chemoselectivity. In addition, the first sulfur oxidation in continuous flow has been developed
