The performances of the unspecific peroxigenase from Agrocybe aegerita (AaeUPO) in the asymmetric sulfoxidation of substituted aryl alkyl sulfides were here investigated. A small library of differently substituted aryl alkyl sulfoxides was successfully synthesized from the corresponding sulfides in the presence of AaeUPO and H2O2. All the sulfoxides were obtained as (R)-enantiomers, regardless the substitution pattern both on the aromatic ring and the alkyl chain, in up to > 99% conversion and > 99% ee. An overview about the biocatalytic entries to chiral sulfoxides is also presented here in form of a comparison between the results obtained with AaeUPO and performances of the chloroperoxidase from Caldariomyces fumago, and three different Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases. To the best our knowledge, this is the first example of a systematic investigation of the AaeUPO synthetic potential in the asymmetric oxidation of hetero atoms, i.e., the pro-stereogenic sulfur of sulfides.
