General Description

4-Isopropylbenzenethiol is an aromatic thiol. It undergoes oxidation in the presence of activated carbon and xylene to afford the corresponding disulfide. 4-Isopropylbenzenethiol reacts with 2-chloro-3-formylquinolines and NaH in DMSO to afford the corresponding 2-(4-isopropylphenylthio)quinoline-3-carbaldehyde.
