Reduction of sulfonyl chlorides

Recent Literature


A reduction of sulfonyl chlorides in the presence of triphenylphosphine in toluene enables an efficient and convenient method for the synthesis of arylthiols.

An organophosphorus-catalyzed umpolung reaction achieves the deoxygenation of sulfonyl chlorides and alcohols/acids to synthesize thioethers/thioesters driven by PIII/PV=O redox cycling. This operationally simple approach uses a stable phosphine oxide as a precatalyst and shows broad functional group tolerance.
