Abstract

Abstract: Tetraphenylporphyrin-sensitized photo-oxidation of thiophenolates leads to the corresponding benzenesulfonates. The reaction proceeds via attack of singlet oxygen on the thiophenolate anion. A reaction mechanism is proposed. ... In view of the results of our investigations concerning
