Stereogenic-at-sulfur compounds are important biologically active small molecules, with many drugs featuring chiral sulfur atoms. Here, the authors report that unspecific peroxygenases catalyse the biocatalytic oxygenation of sulfilimines and sulfenimines to form enantiomerically enriched sulfoximines and sulfinimines, respectively, on preparative scale.
