An efficient, chemoselective homologation of disulfides and diselenides to the corresponding dithio- and diselenoacetals has been developed via the addition of bromomethyllithium. Chemoselectivity is fully preserved in the presence of concomitant electrophilic sites decorating the substrates. The synthetic potential of selected dithioacetals has been evaluated in Feringa-Fa?anas-Mastral-type Pd-catalyzed coupling with an organolithium and in the unusual 1,4-addition to a Weinreb amide.

A novel method for the introduction of a methyl group into aromatic rings is described.Friedel-Crafts reactions of ethyl α-(chloromethylthio)acetate (3k) and α-chloromethylthio-γ-butyrolactone (3m) with an arene in the presence of stannic chloride gave ethyl α-(arylmethylthio)acetate (6) and α-arylmethylthio-γ-butyrolactone (7), respectively, which were easily converted to the corresponding methylated arene (8) by reductive desulfurization with Raney nickel or zinc dust-acetic acid.Keywords - monomethylation; ethyl α-(chloromethylthio)acetate Friedel-Crafts reaction; α-chloromethylthio-γ-butyrolactone Friedel-Crafts reaction; ethyl α-(arylmethylthio)acetate; α-arylmethylthio-γ-butyrolactone; methylated arene; reductive desulfurization; Raney nickel; zinc dust-acetic acid
