Abstract

Abstract: Acid-catalyzed reactions of various phenols with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been studied. The principal products were phenols alkylated in the available ortho positions with thiomethoxymethyl groups. In addition, products containing the previously undescribed 1, 3-benzoxathian ring system were frequently formed in low yields. More strongly acidic phenols also lead to aryl ...
