Abstract

The sulfur atom of benzenethiols must be protected prior to carrying out electrophilic substitution reactions in the benzene ring. The general requirements of a protective group in this series are that the group be unaffected by electrophilic reagents and that it may be easily cleaved. The present paper indicates that further general requirements of a sulfur- protective group for benzenethiols are that the group should contain hydrogen on the ...
