25. The use of dodecanethiol instead of dodecyl phenyl sulfide did not give the alkenylative coupling product 2 but the conventional coupling product, 1-dodecyl-4-methylbenzene (7%), dodecane (24%), and 1-dodecene (27%), respectively.
26. The reaction of 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethyl-1,3,5-trithiane, a trimer form of propane-2-thione, with 4-(N, N-dimethylamino)phenyl Grignard reagent gave the corresponding alkenylative coupling product, N, N-dimethyl-4-(prop-1-en-2-yl) aniline (17%) with recovery of the trithiane (51%), which indicates an intermediacy of thioketone in the present alkenylative coupling reaction.

40. The reaction of naphthalene-2-ylmethanethiol with 3 equiv of p-tolyl Grignard reagent under the present reaction conditions gave the coupling product, 2-(4-methylbenzyl)naphthalene (35%), and the reduced product, 2-methyl naphthalene (27%). For geminal dimethylation of dithioacetals, see
