Abstract

Abstract Bromodifluoro (phenylsulfanyl) methane undergoes a Friedel–Crafts-type alkylation, through α-fluorocarbocations, with activated aromatic compounds yielding thioesters and/or benzophenones. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of naturally occurring xanthone derivatives.
