Popis: We have devised a new bienzymatic oxidase–peroxidase system in which hydrogen peroxide is produced from air by a d -amino acid oxidase. The generated hydrogen peroxide is instantly used for asymmetric oxygenation of sulphides by a peroxidase. In the absence of peroxidase no spontaneous oxidation is observed, indicating that hydrogen peroxide production by the d -amino acid oxidase is fully controlled. Arylmethyl sulfoxides can be synthesised on a preparative scale with high yields and good enantiomeric excess.
