1-Naphthalenethiol is an organosulfur compound with the formula C10H7SH. It is a white solid. It is one of two monothiols of naphthalene, the other being 2-naphthalenethiol.

Synthesis

A practical synthesis involves the tin/HCl-reduction of the naphthalene-1-sulfonyl chloride.[1] 1-Naphthalenethiol can also be prepared from 1-bromonaphthalene by Pd-catalyzed reaction with the silylthiolate iPr3SiSK followed by hydrolysis of the silathioether.[2] It was first prepared from the Grignard reagent generated from 1-bromonaphthalene. Treatment of that reagent with elemental sulfur followed by acidification gave the compound.[3] It has been produced by the iodine-catalyzed reduction of 1-naphthalenesulfonic acid with triphenylphosphine.[4]

Reactions

Treating 1-naphthalenethiol with butyl lithium in the presence of tmeda affords the 2-lithio derivative.[1]
