Bimolecular Photoreduction of Aromatic Sulfoxides
Photolysis of aromatic sulfoxides in the presence of alkoxides in alcoholic solvents provides a photochemical route to the corresponding sulfides. Other electron donors also give sulfide with various degrees of success. The reaction could also be carried out using carbazoles as sensitizers, and quan...

Zusammenfassung: | Photolysis of aromatic sulfoxides in the presence of alkoxides in alcoholic solvents provides a photochemical route to the corresponding sulfides. Other electron donors also give sulfide with various degrees of success. The reaction could also be carried out using carbazoles as sensitizers, and quantitative yields could be obtained using N-methylcarbazole in methanol. Evidence points toward a hydroxysulfuranyl radical as the key intermediate, and solvent effects point to heterolysis, rather than homolysis, as the step that breaks the S−O bond. |
