Organometalloidal Compounds with o -PhenyleneSubstituents. Part 29.1 Reaction of SulfurDichloride with 2-Methoxyphenol: Isolation and Characterizationof 2,8-Dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxy- and1,6-Dichloro-2,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxy-thianthrene

Abstract

From 2-methoxyphenol (4) and sulfur dichloride awealth of compounds are formed, but the reaction conditions canbe varied in such a way that either2,8-dihydroxy-3,7-dimethoxythianthrene (9) or1,6-dichloro-2,7-dihydroxy-3,8-dimethoxythianthrene (10) isformed predominantly; both compounds are characterized by X-raycrystallographic analysis.
