Abstract
Abstract The reaction of 2.5-di- and 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthalate esters with both alkyl and arylmercaptides in triglyme solvent at room temperature gave the corresponding di- and tetra-substituted alkylthio- and arylthio-substituted terephthalate esters. Similarly, the reaction of both 2,5-di- and 2,3,5,6-tetrachloroterephthalate thioesters with potassium n-octylmercaptide, 2a, in triglyme gave the bis- and tetrakis(n-octylthio)terephthalate thioesters respectively. Both activated and unactivated aryl chlorides reacted with a suspension of a potassium alkylmercaptide in xylene using 18-crown-6 as a solid-liquid phase-transfer catalyst to give the corresponding alkylthio-substituted benzenes. The reaction of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene with sodium n-dodecylmercaptide in tetraglyme solvent gave 1,2,4-tris(n-dodecylthio)benzene.
