Insertion of a two sulfur unit into the S–S bond—tailor-made polysulfides

Triphenylthiosulfenyl chloride ( 1) reacts with disulfides RSSR, yielding tetrasulfides as the main products. The results of the insertion for different R groups are reported. A two-step mechanism involving the formation of unsymmetrical trisulfide intermediates containing the trityl group is propos...
