Abstract

In connection with studies involving the interaction of organic sulfur compounds and organomagnesium halides it was necessary to prepare a variety of sulfides. When the hydrogen of a mercapto (--SH) group is to be replaced by alkyl, two classes of compounds are generally used: alkyl halides and salts of alkyl sulfates. Sulfonic esters have been used to a decidedly limited extent in a replacement reaction of this type, despite the fact that ...
