Rich man, pore man: A facile and universal route to mesoporous zeolite TS‐1 (MTS‐1) is reported. Compared with mesoporous‐free TS‐1, the MTS‐1 zeolite shows extraordinarily catalytic activity and highly controllable chemoselectivity for the oxidation of sulfides into sulfoxides or sulfones. Based on the catalytic data, the Tihydroperoxo (η 2 ) group is proposed to be the active site for the oxidation of sulfides into sulfoxides and sulfones.
