Abstract

Representative p-arylsulphonylbenzaldehydes were obtained by the route, Ar* SO,* C, H, Me __f Ar* SO,* C, H,~ CH (OAc),--+ Ar* SO, C, H, CHO, provided that the group Ar was not susceptible to oxidation by chromic oxide. Related aldehydes and ketones were prepared by standard methods. Phenyl thiolacetate, PhSAc, did not undergo the Fries rearrangement or the Friedel-Crafts reaction, but the latter method was successful with thioanisole.
