Photolysis of dibenzothiophene-S-oxide (DBTO) and dibenzoselenophene-Se-oxide
(DBSeO) was examined under direct and sensitized conditions. Quantum yield and solvent …

The use of atomic oxygen (O (3P)) as potent oxidant in water has suffered from the lack of a
facile, efficient source. The photodeoxygenation of aromatic sulfoxides to the corresponding …

Photolyses of dibenzothiophene sulfoxides (DBTOs) with intramolecular trapping
functionalities attached in the 4-position show higher quantum yields of deoxygenation …

Photolysis of dibenzothiophene sulfoxide results in the formation of dibenzothiophene and
oxidized solvent. Though quantum yields are low, chemical yields of the sulfide are quite …

Photodeoxygenation of dibenzothiophene S‐oxide (DBTO) is believed to produce ground‐
state atomic oxygen [O (3P)] in solution. Compared with other reactive oxygen species …

Photoinduced deoxygenation of dibenzothiophene S-oxide (DBTO) has been suggested to
release atomic oxygen [O (3 P)]. To expand the conditions and applications where O (3 P) …

Atomic oxygen O (3P) is a potent oxidant that has been well-studied in the gas phase.
However, exploration of its reactivity in the condensed organic phase has been hampered …

Dibenzothiophene-5-oxide (DBTO) cleanly produces dibenzothiophene (DBT) on direct
photolysis, but with very low quantum yield. A proposed mechanism involves scission of the …

Photolysis of substituted thiophene‐S‐oxides in solution results in the formation of either the
corresponding thiophene or furan, in addition to uncharacterized materials. No good …

Sulfoxides, upon irradiation with ultraviolet (UV) light undergo α-cleavage, hydrogen
abstraction, photodeoxygenation, bimolecular photoreduction, and stereo-mutation. The UV …
