Deoxygenation of N‐heterocyclic N‐oxides with Selectfluor and disulfane

Abstract

AbstractHerein, we describe a metal‐free methodology using Selectfluor with disulfane, for the deoxygenation of N‐heterocyclic N‐oxides (33 examples). This effective, robust, and simple methodology enables the synthesis of various deoxygenated analogues from a wide range of N‐heterocyclic N‐oxide cores at room temperature in short reaction times with quantitative yields.
