SYNTHESIS AND REACTION OF 3-(ALKYLTHIO)-1,2-BENZISOTHIAZOLE 1,1-DIOXIDES AS AN ODORLESS CRYSTALLINE EQUIVALENT OF THIOLS

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1981.1457

It was found that sodium salt of 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-thione 1,1-dioxide (thiosaccharin) readily reacted with alkyl halide affording 3-(alkylthio)-1,2-benzisothiazole 1,1-dioxide, which very smoothly produced the corresponding alkanethiol by the reaction with piperidine in almost quantitative yield.
