Abstract

Several aromatic and aliphatic sulphoxides are selectively deoxygenated to the corresponding thioethers in high to quantitative yields by samarium metal in methanolic ammonium chloride under sonication. Other functional groups such as halides, esters, ethers, nitriles, olefins and ketones are unaffected under the present reaction conditions.
