Photosensitized electron transfer oxidation of sulfides: A steady-state study

The photosensitized electron-transfer oxidation of a series of ethyl sulfides RSEt (1, R = C12H25; 2, PhCH2CH 2; 3, PhCH2; 4, PhCMe2; 5, Ph2CH) has been examined in acetonitrile and the product distribution discussed on the basis of the mechanisms proposed. In nitrogen-flushed solutions, cleaved alc...

Two sensitizers are compared, 9,10-dicyanoanthracene (DCA) and 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP+BF4-), the former giving a higher proportion of the sulfoxide, the latter of cleaved carbonyls. The sulfoxidation is due to the contribution of the singlet oxygen path with DCA.

This process involves deprotonation from the α position of the sulfide radical cation, but the TPP+ results suggest that O2.- is not necessarily involved and non-activated oxygen forms a weak adduct with the radical cation promoting α-hydrogen transfer, particularly with benzylic derivatives. © Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
