Abstract

Abstract: Triphenylsulfonium and tri-p-tolylsulfonium fluoroborate, iodide, bromide, and chloride salts have been prepared and subjected to reaction with sodium methoxide in methanol solution. In all cases, a mixture of aromatic hydrocarbons, biaryls, methyl aryl ethers, diary1 sulfides, and products of relatively high molecular weight were obtained. An interpretation of these results and of those of the reactions of some of the same ...
