Abstract
The first example of an organic reduction with boranes catalyzed by a high valent oxo-complex is reported. The systems catecholborane/MoO2Cl2(H2O)2 (5 mol %) and BH3·THF/MoO2Cl2 (5 mol %) proved to be very efficient for the reduction of sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfides in excellent yields.
Graphical abstractThe dioxomolybdenum dichloride, MoO2Cl2, proved to be an excellent catalyst for the reduction of sulfoxides with boranes.Download full-size image
