Abstract

Central Research and Development Department,' Experimental Station, EI du Pont de Nemours and Company, Wilmington, Delaware 19898 Receiced November 18,1976 ... Light-induced, free-radical reactions of pentafluorobenzenesulfenyl chloride with methylbenzenes give very high yields of pentafluorophenyl benzyl sulfides. With other alkylbenzenes which contain benzylic hydrogens, high yields of benzylic sulfides are also obtained along with small quantities ...
