We have measured rates of thermal decomposition and Arrhenius parameters for S-alkyl O-phenyl thiocarbonates, O-alkyl O'-phenyl thiocarbonates, S-alkyl O-phenyl and O-alkyl S-phenyl dithiocarbonates (xanthates), and alkyl phenyl trithiocarbonates between 671.4 and 819.2 deg K.The reactivity order is: PhOCSOR>PhOCO2R>PhSCSOR>PhSCO2R>PhOCSSR>PhSCSSR>PhOCOSR>(PhSCOSR).Compared with the pyrolysis of acetates the rate decrease accompanying change of carbonyl to thiocarbonyl is smaller, whilst that accompanying change of OR to SR is greater, because the transition state for carbonate pyrolysis is more E1-like within the overall semi-concerted process.The accelerating effect of thion sulphur is greatest for ethyl derivatives which have the least E1-like transition state.The iPr/Et rate ratios at 700 deg K are: 30.7 (PhOCO2R), =17.4 (PhOCOSR), 2.0 (PhOCSSR), 1.6 (PhSCSSR), and for the latter two classes of compounds attack on the β-C-H bond, rather than Cα-X bond breaking may be the most important rate determining step.Compounds containing thione sulphur and O-alkyl groups (but not O-phenyl groups) undergo sulphur-oxygen exchange.A mechanism for this exchange is given which accounts both for these structural aspects and the much slower exchange in thionacetates.For carbonates, exchange is more severe for compounds which have the slowest competing elimination.Compounds PSCSSiPr, PhSCSSEt, PhOCSSEt, and PhOCOSEt each gave abnormally low activation energies (and low stoicheiometry) due to competing nucleophilic substitution which gives ethers.This reaction is predicted to be important also for compounds PhSCOSR.
