Bisguanidinium dinuclear oxodiperoxomolybdosulfate ion pair-catalyzed enantioselective sulfoxidation

Peroxomolybdates can be used as catalysts, but to date have not been employed in catalytic asymmetric transformations. Here the authors report that peroxomolybdates with a chiral bisguanidinium salts are active catalysts for asymmetric sulfoxidation, and furthermore identify the catalytic species.
