Cyclisation reactions of 2-substituted biphenyl-2'-yldiazonium salts leading to O-alkyldibenzofuranium and S-alkyldibenzothiophenium salts: Modified Meerwein reagents

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0040-4020(01)88480-5

The preparation of 2-amino-2'-methoxybiphenyl and 2-amino-2'-thiomethoxybiphenyl and analogues and their transformation into diazonium salts and hence into dibenzofuranium and dibenzothiophenium salts is described together with their use as alkylating agents.
