Abstract 1, 2, 3, 4-Tetrahydro-4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene was prepared by coupling 2- bromo-3-methylcyclohexanone with 2-methylbenzenethiol and annulating the product with the aid of polyphosphoric acid. A mixture of 1, 2, 3, 4-tetrahydro-4, 6- dimethyldibenzothiophene and 4, 6-dimethyldibenzothiophene was prepared by coupling 2- bromo-3-methylcyclohex-2-en-1-one with 2-methylbenzenethiol and annulating the ...
