The asymmetric oxidation of sulfides to sulfoxides with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant that uses chiral copper metal–organic framework crystals as a heterogeneous catalyst has been investigated. Optically active sulfoxides have been obtained with moderate to good enantioselectivities up to 82 % ee without the formation of sulfones. The catalyst can be recovered by simple filtration and reused.
