A new transformation of thioethers into ethers using thallium(III) nitrate

Abstract
α-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-β-nitroethylthioethane (1) has been converted into α-(3,4-dimethoxy-phenyl)-β-nitroethoxyalkanes in good yield on treatment with 1·2 mol. equiv. of thallium(III) trinitrate (TTN) in several alcohols at room temperature.
