Sulfur bridging of biphenyl ( 4 ), 4‐methylbiphenyl, and the biphenylthiol isomers ( 7 ) to yield dibenzothiophene ( 3 ) is effected by means of hydrogen sulfide, benzene (solvent), and a sulfided cobaltous oxide‐molybdic oxide‐alumina (CMA‐1) catalyst at 450° in a flow system. Alumina also catalyzes a number of these transformations. The possibility that compounds 7 (especially the 2‐isomer) are intermediates in the conversion 4 → 3 is noted.
