Visible light sensitizer-catalyzed highly selective photo oxidation from thioethers into sulfoxides under aerobic condition

Visible light sensitizer-catalyzed highly selective photo oxidation from thioethers into sulfoxides under aerobic condition

Abstract We report herein a visible light sensitizer-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of thioethers, affording sulfoxides in good to excellent yields. The loading of the catalyst was as low as 0.1 mol%. The selectivity was excellent. Mechanism studies showed both singlet oxygen and superoxide radical ani...
