Abstract
Reactions of benzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate (I) with thioanisole in acetonitrile yielded dimethylphenylsulfonium tetrafluoroborate, diphenyl sulfide, methylthiobiphenyls and acetanilide. Reaction of I with cyclohexene yielded 1-cyclohexylcyclohexene and cyclo-hexyl phenyl ether. Reactions of I with dimethyl sulfide yielded trimethylsulfonium tetrafluoroborate and thioanisole. Mechanisms of these reactions were discussed in terms of the attack of phenyl cation toward the lone electron pair of sulfur atoms and the benzene electrons.
