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.

2-Methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-2-benzoselenopyranium salt (1) was reduced by some metallic reagents or magnesium metal via the single-electron transfer (SET) process to give 2--toluene (2).Magnesium metal was a good SET reducing agent.Some other selenonium or sulphonium salts (7), (14), (22), (27) and (32) were similarly reduced by magnesium.Particularly, sonication accelerated the reductions. ε-Eneselenonium salt (43) was treated with activated magnesium to give a cyclised pyrrolidine derivative (44).
