The reactions proceeded under mild and catalyst-free conditions in dichloromethane at room temperature to provide the sulfoxides in excellent yields without any significant over-oxidation to sulfones. %K Sulfides %K Sulfoxides %K Sulfoxidation %K Catalyst-Free Condition %U http://www.eurjchem.com/index.php/eurjchem/article/view/6
