Abstract

The title sulfide {2, 6-(MeO) 2 C 6 H 3} 3 P= S [abbr.(2, 6) 3 P= S] reacted with acids to form a novel mercaptophosphonium salt [(2, 6) 3 P–SH] X, solution thermolysis of which in the absence or presence of triphenylphosphine resulted in the unusual desulfurization to give the tertiary phosphonium salts [(2, 6) 3 P–OH] X.(2, 6) 3 P= S also reacted with alkyl iodides or bromides under mild conditions to give stable (alkylthio) phosphonium salts [(2, 6) 3 P– ...
