B(C 6 F 5) 3 is shown to catalyze the deoxygenation of sulfoxides and sulfones to the corresponding sulfides with Et 3 SiH as the stoichiometric hydride source. While the method is limited in terms of functional group tolerance, it is applicable to the reduction of alkyl/aryl-, aryl/aryl-, and alkyl/alkyl-substituted sulfoxides, including the benzyl/benzyl-substituted derivative. The same protocol converts alkyl/aryl- but not aryl/aryl-substituted sulfones into sulfides.

Supported metal nanoparticle catalysts were studied for the hydrodeoxygenation of sulfoxides to sulfides under solvent-free and mild conditions (50-155 °C, 1 or 7 atm H2). The catalytic activity for the model reaction of diphenyl sulfoxide depended on the type of metals, support materials and co-loaded oxides of transition metals (V, Nb, Mo, W, Re). Pt and MoOx co-loaded TiO2 (Pt-MoOx/TiO2) showed the highest activity. Pt-MoOx/TiO2 was reusable after the reaction and was effective for the reduction of various sulfoxides and showed a higher turnover number (TON) than previously reported catalysts. Using Pt-MoOx/TiO2, benzylphenylsulfone was reduced by H2 to give phenylbenzyl sulfide via benzylphenyl sulfoxides, which represented the first example of catalytic conversion of a sulfone to a sulfide by H2. Characterization studies of Pt-MoOx/TiO2 show that the surface of TiO2 is covered by small (or thin layer) Mo oxide species with exposed Mo cations as Lewis acid sites, and 4-5 nm sized Pt metal nanoparticles are supported on the Mo oxide-covered TiO2.
Lewis acid-promoted electron transfer deoxygenation of epoxides, sulfoxides, and amine N-oxides: the role of low-valent niobium complexes from NbCl5 and Zn

A mild and operationally simple deoxygenation of epoxides, sulfoxides, and amine N-oxides is described using a sub-stoichiometric amount of low-valent niobium complexes generated in situ from commercially available NbCl5 and zinc dust. The deoxygenation proceeds by a reductive cleavage of polarized O-C/O-N/O-S bonds through a single electron transfer from zinc metal to the niobium-substrate complex due to the high oxophilic nature of the niobium species. The presence of adjacent radical-stabilizing groups is beneficial to epoxide substrates; however the similar prerequisite does not apply to sulfoxides and amine N-oxides, where a broad range of substrates are efficiently deoxygenated in excellent yields.
