Superelectrophilic methylthiomethylation of aromatics with chloromethyl methyl sulfide/aluminum chloride (MeSCH2Cl:2 AlCl3) reagent

Effective methylthiomethylation of aromatics was achieved by using chloromethyl methyl sulfide/aluminum chloride (MeSCH2Cl:2 AlCl3) as the alkylating agent. Excess aluminum chloride activates the thiocarboxonium ion intermediate by coordinating with sulfur and thus diminishes back donation of 'electron density' into the carbocationic center, rendering it a superelectrophilic methylthiomethylating agent.
ALKYLATION OF AROMATIC COMPOUNDS WITH PUMMERER REARRANGEMENT INTERMEDIATES. APPLICATION TO THE PREPARATION OF METHYL-ARYL COMPOUNDS
Stamos, Ioannis K.

Pummerer intermediates generated from dimethylsulfoxide reacted with aromatic compounds in the presence of tin(IV) chloride to give methylthiomethylaryl products which were in turn desulfurized to methylaryl compounds with Raney-Ni.
