Microwave thermolysis:Part IX- A rapid reduction of sulphoxides With NaH_2PO_2 in dry media

摘要

Reduction of a variety of sulphoxides using sodium hypo-phosphite under microwave irradiation is described.The methodavoids the use of solvent and applicable for the variety ofsubstrates.Reduction of sulphoxide is an important transformation in organic chemistry because sulphoxides are used as an intermediate in complex natural product synthesis and in stereoselective chiral induction and finally it is reduced or eliminated.
