Abstract
A variety of alkyl and aryl sulfoxides have been successfully deoxygenated using 3-mercaptopropionic acid as a reducing agent and a catalytic amount of either NBS or I 2 (5-10 mol%) in MeCN at ambient temperature. Under the described reaction condition, acid sensitive substrates such as acetals remained intact after several hours.
