Abstract
A mechanistic study of organosulfide oxidation by H2O2, using a dinuclear manganese complex as the catalyst, has revealed an unusual switch in the philicity of the oxidant for the first and the second oxygen transfer steps; this switch has been exploited to tune selectivity for each of the products.
