1. For the first time a description is given of the thallation of organic compounds by tervalent thallium salts of organic acids with formation of ArTIX2 (X is the residue of an organic acid). 2. The thallation of benzene, toluene, naphthalene, anisole, phenetole, o-, m-, and p-dimethoxybenzenes, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene, thiophene, acetophenone, and dibenzofuran was found to proceed under mild conditions with good yield. 3. The orientation of thallation was determined, and the difficulty with which polythallation occurs was noted. 4. Thallation and the reaction that we have discovered * between diarylmercurys and tervalent thallium salts of organic acids provide new methods for the synthesis of compounds of the type ArTlX2. © 1958 Consultants Bureau.
