Deoxygenation of aza-aromatics
Recent Literature
Sulfoxides and aza-aromatic N-oxides were deoxygenated using a system
of indium and pivaloyl chloride at room temperature to give the
corresponding sulfides and aza-aromatics in high yields.

A mild and efficient general method for the deoxygenation of organic N-oxides
such as azoxybenzenes, N-arylnitrones, and N-heteroarene N-oxides
uses the environmentally friendly Lewis acids Zn(OTf)2 and
Cu(OTf)2.
