Abstract

HOH Under corresponding conditions nuclear metalationa is effected with both diethylbarium and diethylstrontium to give metalation products which yield on carbonation, o- methylmercaptobenzoic acid. Metalations of methyl phenyl sulfide with other reagents are now reported. To determine the generality of the lateral metalation with n-butyllithium, a number of aryl methyl sulfides and higher-alkyl aryl sulfides were studied.
