Abstract
Experiments are described detailing a method for the direct introduction of thiomethyl groups into activated benzenes, thiophene and benzo[b]thiophene using an activated mesoporous clay to promote thiomethyl substitution. Elaboration of 2,3-dithiomethylbenzo[b]thiophene, a product of the clay-catalyzed reaction of benzo[b]thiophene with dimethyl disulfide, to a tetrathiafulvalene derivative is described.
