“…The first scenario was deemed unlikely based on the thermodynamically unfavorable equilibrium between FA and iodide (cf. pK a HI = −9.5 30 vs. pK a FA = 3.77), 31 which would require the convergence of two HI units. This observation is consistent with our experimental findings on chemoselectivity.…”
We present a convenient and efficient deoxygention method for the syntheses of disulfides and thioethers. The reaction involves an iodide-catalyzed reduction of methyl sulfinates or sulfoxides, respectively, employing formic acid...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
