Turning the reactivity of carbonyl oxides from nucleophelic to electrophilic. A novel deoxygenation of sulfoxides byelectrophilic α,α,α-triflouroacetophenone -oxide.

1987 
The well-known nucleophilic reactivity of carbonyl oxides could be turned into electrophilic by a potent electron-attracting group. Thus α,α,α-triflouroacetophenone O-oxide both sulfides and sulfides electrophically, and the most characteristic reaction is the deoxygenation of sulfoxides.
