Products were determined from reaction of biphenyl‐2‐thiol ( 5 ) with methanol in a packed flow reactor at elevated temperatures and ca . atmospheric pressure. At 450–550° thermolysis of 5 gives small yields of dibenzothiophene ( 1 ) and biphenyl ( 2 ). With sulfided alumina, products vary with reaction temperature from 82% S‐methyl‐ 5 at 250° to only 1 plus 2 at 550°. At 450° with sulfided cobaltous oxide‐molybdic oxide‐aluminum oxide (CMA‐1), 5 and its isomers give mainly desulfurization to 2 (81%), plus C ‐melhylalion to melhylbiphenyls and fluorene. With CMA‐1 at 450° the arrays of products from 1 and 5 are closely similar.
