Abstract
Enabled by triethyl amine (Et3N) and thionyl chloride (SOCl2), an efficient and practical protocol for deoxygenation of sulfoxide to sulfide was developed. This new method features a wide range of substrate scope, including diaryl, dialkyl and aryl alkyl substituted sulfoxides. Detailed mechanistic investigations reveal the crucial role played by Et3N as an electron-donating reductant rather than a hydrogen-atom donor.
