Thioxanthone Synthesis from Thioureas through Double Aryne Insertion into a Carbon-Sulfur Double Bond Thioxanthone synthesis from o-silylaryl triflates and thioureas is disclosed. Double aryne insertion into the C═S double bond of thioureas and subsequent hydrolysis realized the facile preparation of ...

Wait, we (@S_Yoshida_Lab) made thioxanthones?! Double aryne insertion into thioureas + simple hydrolysis = super functionalized thioxanthones. Who saw that coming? #AryneChemistry #OpenAccess #OrgLett #ChemSky
