Electrophilic substitutions with the electrogenerated sulfenium cation R1-S+

The sulfenium cation R1-S+ electrogenerated by oxidation of organic disulfides, reacts with phenols, aromatic ethers and ketones bearing an hydrogen atom in α position, to give alkyl (aryl) sulfanyl compounds.

Process for preparing ortho-(alkylthio)phenols

The process of the invention involves reacting a phenol with a dialkyl disulfide in the presence of a zirconium phenoxide catalyst to prepare the corresponding ortho-(alkylthio)phenol.

Process for the preparation of ortho-(hydrocarbylthio)-phenols

Disclosed is a process for the preparation of otho-(hydrocarbylthio)-phenols, having at least one hydrogen on a carbon atom ortho to a hydroxy group, with hydrocarbyl disulfides in the presence of catalytic amounts of aluminum phenoxide.
