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 …

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 …

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 …

Aromatic heterocyclic oxides, such as dibenzothiophene S-oxide (DBTO), have been
suggested to release ground state atomic oxygen [O (3P)] upon irradiation, and as such …

Aryl selenides and selenoxides trap efficiently the intermediates in the reaction of singlet
oxygen with sulfides. In the co-photooxygenation of 1equiv of an aryl selenoxide with 1.3 …

Oxidation of a series of selenophenes (1) with a variety of oxidizing agents was investigated.
Oxidation of 1 with 2 molar amounts of dimethyldioxirane (DMD) generally gave the …

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

Although the chemistry of organoselenides is well documented, 2 little is known about their
photochemical reactions. By contrast, the photoreactions of many organosulfides have been …

Primary photochemical paths of alkyl phenyl selenides (1) were investigated, and an origin
of large deviations in the chemical yields of products obtained by carbon radical reactions …

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