A number of phenols and hydroxyheterocyclic compounds have been converted to the corresponding thiol compounds by the route, phenol to O-aryl dialkylthiocarbamate to S-aryldialkylthiocarbamate to thiophenol. Methods for accomplishing each stepin high yield are described. Since the thiol compounds formed are readily desulfurized by heating with Raney nickel, a useful way of replacing aromatic hydroxyl groups by hydrogen is at hand.The conversion of a phenol to the corresponding thiophenol represents a transformation for which there has been developed no good general method to date. Prior to the work herein reported this conversion had been effected by pyrolysis of di-O-aryl thiocarbonates (I), to O-aryl S-aryl thiocarbonates (II). 2 Further work showed that over-allconversion in theregion of 20-28% of pure materials were obtained. 3 An obvious limitation of this route is that the maximum yield possible is 50% with respect to conversion of a phenol to the corresponding thiophenol.
