A facile synthesis of aryl sulfides by iron-catalyzed aromatic sulfuration

Novel reaction of acetylsulfenyl chloride with activated aromatic compounds

“…3 With a view to extending the scope of the aromatic sulfuration reaction, our attention was attracted to acetylsulfenyl chloride (1) which also has a sulfurchlorine bond. 1 was first synthesized by Bohme and Clement,4 5678and since then there have been several reports on the chemical behavior of 1. However, previous works have dealt almost entirely with the reaction between 1 and such functional groups as active hydrogen4-6 and olefinic double bonds.7,8…”

“…A methylene chloride solution of a 1:1 mixture of acetylsulfenyl chloride (1) and anisóle was stirred for 40 hr at room temperature and then refluxed for 2 hr. The main product was acetyl p-anisyl disulfide (2a) instead of acetyl p-anisyl sulfide, the product expected on the basis of analogy with previous studies.…”

“…For analytical determinations correction factors for weight ratio/ area ratio data were determined with standards containing the same compounds. Acetylsulfenyl chloride (1) was prepared by treating diacetyl sulfide with sulfuryl chloride according to the method of Bohme and Clement.4 Acetylthiosulfenyl chloride was prepared by treating thiolacetic acid with chlorine. 4 Reaction of 1 with Anisóle.…”
