zylth io)-1,2-d ibr om oeth ylen e (5). Following the general
procedure for the preparation of benzothiopyrans 3 (see above),
to 1 mmol of 2d (584 mg) was added an equimolar amount of
ICl or Br2. Only educt and a mixture of decomposition
products could be isolated from the reaction with ICl. With
bromine, 208 mg (28%) of a new compound was formed. The
analytical data confirm the formation of the addition product
1,2-bis(2-bromobenzylthio)-1,2-dibromoethylene 5 and not the
corresponding benzothiopyran 3i.

2 mL of CH2Cl2. The resulting dark liquid was stirred for 30
min and then poured into the 3-fold volume of dry diethyl ether
with vigorous stirring. The formed solid was collected, washed
twice with diethyl ether, and dried in a vacuum desiccator.
Every step was carried out under argon and with exclusion of
moisture. If necessary, recrystallization was possible in acetic
anhydride with some loss of material (incomplete precipita-
tion).
