B₂cat₂-Mediated Reduction of Sulfoxides to Sulfides

Wiley 2020-05-25

An efficient and operationally simple method for the reduction of sulfoxides to sulfides has been developed using bis(catecholato)diboron (B₂cat₂) as a reducing agent. The present method accommodates various functional groups which are generally prone to reduction: halides, alkynes, carbonyls, nitriles, and heterocycles are totally intact, and only sulfoxide moieties undergo reduction chemoselectively. Moreover, the remaining diboron and the resulting boron‐containing wastes are readily removable, the practicality of this protocol being thus demonstrated.
