Abstract
The use of gold(III) as oxidant provides a method for the sterospecific oxidation of methionine to methionine sulphoxide under conditions that can be extended to biological systems containing sulphides; preliminary kinetic studies give a possible explanation of the sterospecifiction of this reaction.Keywords
