Thiobenzophenone reacts with butyllithium, phenyllithium, and sodium ethoxide in ethanol giving benzhydryl butyl sulfide, benzhydryl phenyl sulfide, and dibenzhydryl disulfide, respectively. On the other hand di-t-butyl thioketone affords 2, 2, 4, 4-tetramethylpentane-3- thiol, 2, 2, 4, 4-tetramethyl-3-phenylpentane-3-thiol, and 2, 2, 4, 4-tetramethylpentane-3-thiol by the reaction with butyllithium, phenyllithium, and sodium ethoxide in ethanol, ...
