Abstract

An efficient route for the chemoselective deoxygenation of benzylphenyl sulfones to the corresponding sulfides has been developed using a mixture of 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane(dppe) and NBS as an effective promoter. This is the first development on the deoxygenation of diverse benzylphenyl sulfones under metal-free conditions. The mild reaction conditions, formation of the water soluble by-product and tolerance of a wide range of functional groups promote its broad applications in organic synthesis.
