Abstract
Thiosalicylic acid reacts with 1,4-benzoquinone to give 2-(1,4-dihydroxyphenylsulfanyl)benzoic acid which undergoes intramolecular cyclization to 1,4-dihydroxythioxanthen-9-one in the presence of dehydrating agents. Cyclization of arylsulfanylbenzoic acids obtained by reaction of thiosalicylic acid with 1,4-naphtho- and anthraquinones leads to 1,4-quinone derivatives, benzo- and naphthothioxanthenetriones.
