Trost, a founding member of Science of Synthesis, on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Science of Synthesis. ‡ These authors contributed equally to this work Abstract A method for the Brønsted acid promoted desulfination of aryl sulfoxides is presented. In the presence of a thiol, electron-rich sulfoxides undergo C–S bond cleavage to give the corresponding protodesulfinated arenes and disulfides.

The reaction was quenched by the addition of solid NaHCO3, stirred at 23 °C for 10 min, filtered and extracted with CH2Cl2. The resulting organic phase was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude product that was purified by column chromatography (heptane/ethyl acetate). 17 1,3,5-Trimethoxy-2-(methylsulfinyl)benzene (1b) IR (neat): 2943, 1582, 1465, 1458, 1436, 1412, 1340, 1230, 1208, 1187, 1162, 1125, 1086, 1026 cm–1. 1H NMR (600 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 6.12 (s, 2 H), 3.88 (s, 6 H), 3.84 (s, 3 H), 3.04 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (150 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 164.7, 161.3, 111.5, 91.3, 56.3, 55.7, 38.0.
