The reaction of lithium and sodium diethylamide with 1,3-benzodioxoles and 1,3-benzoxathioles is here reported. 1,3-Benzodioxoles exhibit selective cleavage of the ether bond with formation of alkoxyphenols; 1,3-benzoxathioles when reacting with sodium diethylamide lead to 2-alkoxybenzenethiols while with lithium diethylamide give 2-alkoxybenzenethiols together with 2-(alkylthio)phenols.
