Abstract
A very simple method for the O-Methylation of thiodiglycol and dithiaalkanediols has been developed. Dimethyl ethers were prepared using stoichiometric amounts of dimethyl sulfate in tetrahydrofuran in the presence of solid crushed potassium hydroxide. This method is suitable for the synthesis of methyl ethers in high yields and with high selectivity.
