Abstract

Alpha-Chloro sulfenyl chlorides such as 1 and 4 could not be reduced to the corresponding disulfides. Under reducing conditions they are instead dechlorinated to the corresponding thiocarbonyl compounds. Starting from the chroman-4-one derivatives 1 a number of 1,3,4-oxadithiins 3 have been prepared. Sulfenyl chlorides 1 and 4 have been derivatized with p-toluenesulfinate, methoxide, and cyanide ions as well as with primary and secondary amines, with thiophenol and with thiobenzoic acid. The molecular structure of thiocyanate 8a has been determined by X-ray crystallography.
