We demonstrated microwave-assisted photooxidation of sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfones using ethynylbenzene as a photosensitizer. Efficiency of the photooxidation was higher under microwave irradiation than under conventional thermal heating conditions. Under the conditions, ethynylbenzene promoted the oxidation more efficiently than conventional photosensitizers benzophenone, anthracene, and rose bengal. Ethynylbenzene, whose T<sub>1</sub> state is extremely resistant to intersystem cros ...[more]
