Organic Reactions in Ionic Liquids: Synthesis of Alkyl Aryl Trithiocarbonates by the S -Arylation of Potassium Carbonotrithioates with Diaryliodonium Salts †
Various alkyl aryl trithiocarbonates were readily prepared in good yields by the S-arylation of potassium carbonotrithioates with diaryliodonium salts in the room-temperature ionic liquid, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF4). The ionic liquid can be recycled and reused.

Although Godt and Wann reported a example of direct S-arylation of trithiocarbonic acid salt which involved the reaction of a solution of m-tolyldiazonium chloride and sodium ethyl trithiocarbonate, it gave a low yield (23.6 %) of impure product, see ref. 6.
