Organosulfur skeletons are crucial in many fields, including pharmaceuticals and electronics. Synthesizing organosulfur skeletons requires o-bromobenzenethiols. However, conventional methods face challenges due to quick oxidation and formation of highly reactive intermediates. In a new study, researchers from Japan developed a new method for synthesizing o-bromobenzenethiols from aryne intermediates via bromothiolation. This method can pave the way for the synthesis of new organosulfur compounds with applications in diverse fields.

Synthesizing o-bromobenzenethiols from aryne intermediates: This innovative method involves bromothiolation of aryne intermediates, resulting in the formation of highly functional o-bromobenzenethiols, which can be subsequently used to prepare diverse organosulfur compounds.
