Reaction of 2,4,6-triarylthiopyrylium salts 1 with sodium methoxide in absolute methanol yields isolable 2-methoxy-2H-thiopyrans 2, the structure of which was proved spectroscopically.Using the 2,4,6-triphenyl derivative 2a as model compound, the behaviour of the 2-methoxy-2H-thiopyran system towards some nucleophiles and electrophiles was studied.Thus, on heating with ethanol the 2-ethoxy-2H-thiopyran 3 is formed.Nitromethane and ethyl cyanoacetate react with 2a in the presence of triethylamine to give 2,4,6-triphenylbenzene (6) and 2,4,6-triphenylbenzonitrile (7), respectively.Electrophiles (e.g. mineral acids or acyl halides) regenerate from 2a the starting thiopyrylium system; the same principle underlies the formation of 2,4,6-triphenyl-thiopyrylium perchlorate (1a) and 2-methoxy-3-methyl-2,4,6-triphenyl-2H-pyran (5) from 2a and 3-methyl-2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium perchlorate (4).
