Takehiko Nishio Department of Chemistry, University of Tsukuba, Ten-nodai, Tsukuba-shi, lbaraki 305, Japan ... Treatment of alcohols with 2,4-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-l,3-dithiaphosphetane-2,4 -disulphide (Lawesson reagent) gave the corresponding thiols. ... 2,4-Bis(p-methoxyphenyl) - 1,3-dithiaphosphetane-2,4-disul- phide (Lawesson reagent: LR) is known to be a superior reagent for conversion of a wide variety of carbonyls to thiocarbonyl compounds. 1 In our ...
