Abstract

Four six-membered cyclic sulfides, namely tetrahydrothiopyran, 3-methyltetrahydrothiopyran, 4-methyltetrahydrothiopyran and 4,4-dimethyltetrahyrdrothiopyran have been used as moderators in chlorination reactions of various phenols with sulfuryl chloride in the presence of aluminum or ferric chloride. On chlorination of phenol, ortho-cresol and meta-cresol the para/ortho chlorination ratios and yields of the para-chloro isomers are higher than when no cyclic sulfide is used for all of the cyclic sulfides, but chlorination of meta-xylenol is less consistent, with some cyclic sulfides producing higher p/o ratios and others producing lower ratios than reactions having no sulfide present.
