Abstract
Reaction of aryllithium reagents LiR (R = C6H4((R)-CH(Me)NMe2)-2 (1a), C6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6 (1b), C6H4(CH2N(Me)CH2CH2OMe)-2 (1c)) with 1 equiv of sulfur (1/8 S8) results in the quantitative formation of the corresponding lithium arenethiolates [Li{SC6H4((R)-CH(Me)NMe2)-2}]6 (3), [Li{SC6H3(CH2NMe2)2-2,6}]6 (4), and [Li{SC6H4(CH2N(Me)CH2CH2OMe)-2}]2 (5). Alternatively, 3 can be prepared by reacting the corresponding arenethiol HSC6H4((R)-CH(Me)NMe2)-2 (2) with
