Heteroaromatic sulfoxides, especially 1H-benzimidazolyl pyridinylmethyl sulfoxides, usually used as the blockbuster gastric proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), have been prepared highly enantioselectivily by catalytic asymmetric oxidation of sulfides attached to nitrogen-containing heterocyles with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in the presence of a chiral titanium complex, formed in situ from Ti(iPrO)4, chiral 1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol 3c and water. The chiral sufoxides were obtained in high yield (97%) with excellent enantiomeric excess (up to 98%).
