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 …

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 dibenzothiophene sulfoxide in isopropanol provides biphenyl in quantitative
yield via two sequential photochemical reactions. Mechanistic aspects of the reaction are …

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 …

Photochemistry of substituted dibenzothiophene S-oxides and oxygenated bis-dibenzothiophenes
Page 1 Upon photoirradiation, dibenzothiophene S-oxides can be deoxygenated. It has been …

Thiophene S-oxides have been prepared and their photoreactivity has been studied. In
many cases, the sulfur moiety of the thiophene S-oxides is deoxygenated. Here, the …

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 …

The photochemical and electrochemical behavior of thiophene‐S‐oxides as a class was
studied for the first time. It was shown that in both cases deoxygenation of the S—O …

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