Summary: | A novel synthesis of functional dithioesters, dithiocarbamates, xanthates and trithiocarbonates is described. Heating a bis(thiocarbonyl) disulfide with an azo-compound results in the formation of (thiocarbonyl)sulfanyl derivatives in moderate to high yield. The process is proposed as the method of choice for preparing
tertiary (thiocarbonyl)sulfanyl compounds and is compatible with a wide range of functionalities (
e.g. carboxy, hydroxy and nitrile).
The reaction between alkyl radicals and bis(thiocarbonyl) disulfides provides a novel route to functional (thiocarbonyl)sulfanyl derivatives. |
