Abstract
Treatment of sulfoxides with acetic anhydride or N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl chloride (2 mol equiv)/DMAP (0.1 mol equiv)/activated zinc (10 mol eq uiv) in CH2Cl2 or acetonitrile at room temperature has been shown to p rovide the corresponding reduction products, thioethers, in good to ex cellent yields.
