摘要

A series of benzyldimethylsulfonium-and related hydrogensulfate salts have been synthesized from the ternary system ArCH2OH: H2SO4: Me2S or tetrahydrothiophene. The salts are generally stable crystalline solids, but anomalously high reactivity is observed for 9- (anthrylmethyl) dimethylsulfonium hydrogensulfate. Selected sulfonium salts have been used for the O-and S-benzylation of phenol and thiophenol, respectively, in a two phase ...
