Abstract

Coenzyme NAD+ models can be applied in the photooxygenation of sulfides to sulfoxides as organocatalysts at room temperature. A series of sulfoxides are synthesized easily with this protocol and the possible mechanism is discussed. This procedure provides a reliable approach to the clean production of useful sulfoxides in synthetic chemistry.
