Abstract
2,6-Dihydroxypyridine was found to be an efficient reagent in the deoxygena tion of sulfoxides. The mild reaction conditions were compatible with funct ional groups such as ester and carbamate. It was also found that approximat ely 0.25 equivalents of 2,6-dihydroxypyridine was required for effective re duction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
