Abstract

Abstract The feasibility of cycloalkylation reactions in the presence of Friedel–Crafts catalysts was demonstrated in a number of aryl hydroxyalkyl sulfides (1–5), and benzyl hydroxyalkyl sulfides (6–7). Treatment of compounds (1–7) with Friedel-Crafts catalysts gave diaryl disulfides, diaryl sulfides, arene thiols, chlorohydrins, aryl chloroalkyl sulfides, aryl alkenyl sulfides and cyclization products. It is noteworthy to mention that cyclization ...
