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 …

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 …

We report that the photodeoxygenation of 1, 2-benzodiphenylene sulfoxide, 1, generates an
intermediate capable of oxidizing the solvent benzene to phenol. The reactivity of the …

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

Isotopic labeling studies with 3202/3602 mixtures during photooxidations of sulfides,
sulfenamides, sulfenate esters, and disulfides reveal that the oxygens in the sulfonyl …

Several selective and mild chemical methods have recently been reported for reduction of
sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfides. 2 To supplement these reports, we wish to …

A liquid-phase photolysis of 1, 2-benzodiphenylene sulfoxide, 1, and dibenzothiophene
sulfoxide, 2, was used to generate atomic oxygen [O (3P)] or an equivalent active oxygen …

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

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 …

Abstract Thephotooxidations of 1, 5-dithiacyclooctane (1, 5-DTCO), 1, 4-dithiane, and
pentamethylene sulfide have been compared. The photooxidation of 1, 5-DTCO differs …
