References and Notes
Procedure for the Preparation of Compound 4aa: At ambient temperature, 1,3-bis(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imid-azolinium chloride (2a; 1 mmol) was mixed with phenyl isothiocyanate 3a (1 mmol) in anhyd THF (20 mL), and then NaH (1.2 mmol, 65% in mineral oil) was added. After 12 h H2O (5 mL) was added to the mixture. The mixture was then diluted with CH2Cl2 (15 mL) and washed. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4, and concentrated to give inner salt 4aa as yellow crystal. Compound 4aa was further purified by recrystallization from CH2Cl2 and PE, through which the pure inner salt 4aa was obtained. Data of 4aa: yellow solid; mp 252-253 °C. IR (KBr): 1548, 1511, 1480, 1280 cm-1. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.25 (s, 4 H), 6.82-6.92 (m, 2 H), 6.67-6.71 (t, J = 8 Hz, 1 H), 5.96-5.98 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1 H), 4.16 (s, 4 H), 2.56 (s, 12 H), 2.27 (s, 6 H), 1.33 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 165.3, 150.5, 139.6, 136.8, 130.9, 129.7, 129.5, 128.4, 125.8, 122.1, 119.7, 49.1, 21.0, 18.6, 16.9. MS (EI): m/z (%) = 455 (72.41) [M+], 441 (100). Anal. Calcd for C29H33N3S: C, 76.44; H, 7.30; N, 9.22. Found: C, 76.38; H, 7.37; N, 9.19.
11Procedure for the Preparation of Compound 7aa: The mixture of 5aa (0.5 mmol) and silica gel (100 mg) in EtOH-H2O (10 mL, 1:1) was stirred at ambient temperature. When the reaction was complete (monitored by TLC), the mixture was diluted with EtOAc (15 mL) and filtered. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent in vacuum, and purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography with n-hexane-EtOAc (10:1) as eluent gave the product 7aa. Data of 7aa: yellow solid; mp 134-136 °C. IR (KBr): 1706, 1591, 1309 cm-1. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 7.96-7.98 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1 H), 7.60-7.64 (t, J = 8 Hz, 1 H), 7.33-7.39 (m, 2 H), 7.23-7.29 (m, 2 H), 7.17-7.20 (m, 1 H), 6.96-6.98 (d, J = 8 Hz, 1 H), 2.23 (s, 3 H). 13C NMR (100 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 185.0, 157.1, 149.2, 144.5, 143.30, 136.90, 130.8, 130.2, 128.1, 127.7, 126.8, 126.6, 126.5, 124.5, 117.3, 17.7.

14Procedure for the Preparation of Compound 5: At ambient temperature, imidazolinium salt 2 (0.5 mmol) was mixed with aryl isothiocyanate 3 (0.5 mmol) in anhyd THF (10 mL), and then NaH (0.6 mmol, 65% in mineral oil) was added. After 12 h when the reaction was complete (monitored by TLC), phenyl[2-(trimethylsilyl)phenyl]io-donium triflate (1b; 1 mmol) and 18-crown-6 (1.5 mmol) in THF (10 mL) were added to the mixture and then KF (1.5 mmol) was added. After completion of the reaction, the mixture was diluted with EtOAc (10 mL) and washed with H2O and brine. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent in vacuum, and purification of the residue by silica gel chromatography with n-hexane-EtOAc (10:1) as eluent gave the product 5. Selected data of 5aa: low melting point solid.
