The reactions of p ‐trifluoromethylphenyllithium with 2,4,6‐triarylthiopyrylium perehlorates (Ar = Ph, p ‐CH 3 OC 6 H 4 , p ‐NMe 2 C 6 H 4 ) have been studied. The initially formed thiabenzenes were not slable enough to he isolated and rearranged readily to their corresponding 4‐( p ‐tri‐fluoromethylphenyl)‐2,4,6‐triarylthiopyrans. The instability of the intermediate thiabenzenes reveals that, in contrast to the stabilization effect of the electron‐withdrawing p ‐chloro‐ and pentalluorophcnyl groups attached to carbon atoms in sulfur ring, the electron‐withdrawing p ‐lrilluoromethyl group on subsliluenls attached to sulfur decreases the stability of thiabenzenes.
