4,4′-diarylsulfanyl-2,2′,5,5′-tetraoxybiaryl derivatives as a water-soluble fluorescent dye

4,4′-Disulfanyl-2,2′,5,5′-tetrahydrobiaryl (5,5′-disulfanyl hydroquinone dimer) derivatives were readily synthesized from benzoquinone and thiols via an oxidative coupling reaction. The hydroquinone dimers showed strong fluorescence upon excitation at 330

FeCl3-mediated direct chalcogenation of phenols

Direct sulfenylation and selenylation of phenols using a stoichiometric amount of FeCl3 under an oxygen atmosphere has been developed. The chalcogenated phenols were shown to be suitable for preparing S- and Se-containing compounds using the reaction of the remaining hydroxy group.

PHOTOCHEMICAL DESULPHURIZATION OF PHENOLIC THIOETHERS, THIOLS AND DISULPHIDES

Photolysis of alkylthiodihydroxybenzenes 2-4 and the related thiols 5, 6, 8 and disulphide 7 under argon proceeds with partial desulphurization to give the parent hydroxybenzenes in 13-36percent yield.Under the same conditions, benzenethiol, 9, decomposes slowly to give low amounts of benzene.Irradiation of sulphides 10 and 11 results in the selective cleavage of the C-S bond on the hydroxy- or methoxy-substituted ring to yield the desulphurized products in more than 60percent yield.
