O-Toluenethiol

Benzothiete sulfone, when treated with LiAlH4 and H30, did not lead to the product corresponding to 232 but rather to o-toluenethiol. ... 

Methyl- and 2-aryl-substituted benzo[fc]thiophenes (26) can be synthesized starting from o-toluenethiol in three steps, which involves the intramolecular addition of thiols, produced by acid hydrolysis, to the carbonyl group followed by dehydration as the final step (Scheme 3) (91JHC173).

Gabriel and co-workers96,97 first prepared 2,1-benzisothiazole ( thioanthranil ) (2) in the 1890 s. Reduction of o-nitro-a-tolene-thiolcarbamate (63) or o-nitro-a-toluenethiol (64) with stannous chloride and hydrochloric acid yielded a crystalline solid which, on... 

Schmidt and Wernicke found that concentrated hydrochloric acid and a-toluenethiol, allowed to react with 2-0-benzyl-o-fucose overnight at room temperature, caused elimination of the benzyl group. It was retained however, when ethanethiol and hydrochloric acid (saturated at —15°) were employed for 0.5 hour at 0°. Kenner, Taylor and Todd converted 5-0-benzyl-D-ribose into 5-0-benzyl-D-ribose diethyl dithioacetal by the action of ethanethiol and concentrated hydrochloric acid on the sugar in dioxane at 0° during 25 minutes. Ballou and Fischer obtained an excellent yield of 2-0-benzyl-o-glycerose diethyl dithioacetal from 2-0-benzyl-o-glyc-erose, ethanethiol, and concentrated hydrochloric acid at 0° during 30 minutes. 

The oxidation of thiols to corresponding disulphides by Indian ocean ferromanganese nodules has been studied under varying experimental conditions. More than 90% conversion of thiols (2.5 x lO mol.) was achieved at 35°C using O.lg nodules. The oxides of Mn, Fe, Ca, Mg, A1 and surface oxygen in the nodules are most likely responsible for the oxidation of thiols. Under identical conditions the oxidative conversion of thiols decreases in the order 1-dodecanethiol < 1-hexanethiol < 1,4-butanedithiol < a-toluenethiol. 

The di-O-isopropylidene acetal (46), of 1,2-anhydro-cfs-inositol on reaction with a-toluenethiol gave the <8-benzyl derivative (47) which, on...
