Reactions of thiocoumarin with phenylmagnesium bromide and with bromine
Abstract
The original method of preparing thiocoumarin has been improved. Thiocoumarin reacts with phenylmagnesium bromide to give 2-phenyl-4H-thiochromen and thioflavone, and with bromine to yield 3,4-dibromo-3,4-dihydro-thiocoumarin. Treatment of 3-bromocoumarin with alkali gives benzo[b]thiophen-2-carboxylic acid.
