Triarylsulfonium bromides were synthesized by the reaction of diaryl sulfoxides with aryl Grignard reagents in the presence of TMSCl followed by treatment with HBr aqueous solution. Triarylsulfonium bromides bearing three identical substituents on sulfur atom were synthesized by the treatment of dimethyl sulfite or thionyl chloride with 5 equivalents of Grignard reagent in the presence of TMSCl.
