1-Naphthalenethiol is an organosulfur compound with the formula C₁₀H₇SH. It is a white solid. It is one of two monothiols of naphthalene, the other being 2-naphthalenethiol.

Synthesis edit

A practical synthesis involves the tin/HCl-reduction of the naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride.^[1] 1-Naphthalenethiol can also be prepared from 1-bromonaphthalene by Pd-catalyzed reaction with the silylthiolate ⁱPr₃SiSK followed by hydrolysis of the silathioether.^[2] It was first prepared from the Grignard reagent generated from 1-bromonaphthalene. Treatment of that reagent with elemental sulfur followed by acidification gave the compound.^[3] It has been produced by the iodine-catalyzed reduction of 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid with triphenylphosphine.^[4]

Reactions edit

Treating 1-naphthalenethiol with butyl lithium in the presence of tmeda affords the 2-lithio derivative.^[1]
