Abstract New substituted dibenzothiophenes have been prepared and characterized. Selective functionalizations utilized substitutions of lithiodibenzothiophenes available from established methodology. New dibenzothiophenes prepared include 2-(bromomethyl) dibenzothiophene (5), 2-(thiomethyl) dibenzothiophene (6), 2-S- phenylthiomethyldibenzothiophene (24), 2-S-(2′-dibenzothiophenylmethyl) ...
