role-2, 4, 6,8-tetrahydro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-2,6-bis
(4-methylphenyl)-4-(4-morpholinyl)-8-phenoxy-4,8-
disulfide (5). To a stirred solution of dipyrrolylthio-
amide 1 (0.01 mol) in pyridine (30 ml), a solution of
phosphorus tribromide (0.01 mol) was added drop-
wise over 5 min; 24 h later ( P = 35.0; 136.0 ppm),
a solution of phenol (0.01 mol) and triethylamine
(0.03 mol) in benzene (50 ml) was added dropwise to
the stirred reaction mixture over 20 min and sulfur
(0.01 mol) was then poured into it. After having been
allowed to stand at 80 C for 6 h, the mixture was
evaporated under vacuum. The resulting residue
was boiled with water (100 ml), filtered off, and
crystallized from the mixture ethanol:water (1:2).
(20 ml) was added dropwise to the stirred reaction
mixture. After the mixture had been held at 60 C for
5 h, it was evaporated under vacuum. The resulting
residue was boiled with water (100 ml), and the pre-
cipitate was filtered off. The product was crystallized
from ethanol.

of Thioamidophosphonites 13–15
To a solution of bisbromophosphine 9 (0.01 mol) in
pyridine (50 ml), sulfur (0.02 mol) was added and
then a solution of aniline (0.02 mol) and triethyl-
amine (0.02 mol) in pyridine (20 ml) was added drop-
wise to the stirred reaction mixture. After the mixture
had been held at 60 C for 5 h, it was evaporated under
vacuum. The resulting residue was boiled with water
(100 ml), and ethanol (50 ml) and the precipitate was
filtered off.

bis (4-methylphenyl)-4-(4-morpholinyl)-8-oxo-, 4-sul-
fide (6). To a stirred solution of dipyrrolylthioamide
1 (0.01 mol) in pyridine (30 ml), a solution of phos-
phorus tribromide (0.01 mol) was added dropwise
over 5 min; 24 h later ( P = 35.0; 136.0 ppm), the
reaction mixture was evaporated under vacuum
and the residue was dissolved in methylene chloride
(100 ml). On filtration of the mixture, water (20 ml)
was poured into the filtrate. After 24 h, the organic
layer was separated, washed with water (20 ml),
dried with sodium sulfate, and evaporated under
vacuum. The product was purified by precipitating
it from ethanol by addition of water.
General Procedure for Preparation
of Thioxides 16, 17
To a stirred solution of bisbromophosphine 9
(0.01 mol) in pyridine (50 ml), a solution of hetero-
cycle (0.2 mol) and triethylamine (0.02 mol) in pyri-
dine (20 ml) was added dropwise; 72 h later, sulfur
(0.02 mol) was added to the reaction mixture and it
was allowed to stand at 60 C for 5 h. After filtration,
the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum. The re-
sulting residue was boiled with water (100 ml), and
the precipitate was filtered off. The product was crys-
tallized from ethanol.

role,14,8-dibromo-2,4,6,8-tetrahydro-1,3,5,7-tetrame-
thyl-2,6-bis(4-methylphenyl) (9). To a stirred solu-
tion of pyrrole (0.01 mol) in pyridine (50 ml), a
solution of phosphorus tribromide (0.005 mol) in
pyridine (10 ml) was added dropwise over 5 min;
2 h later, the same portion of a pyridinec solu-
tion of phosphorus tribromide was added to the
reaction mixture in the same manner. After 72 h
( P = 136.0 ppm), the mixture was filtered and the
filtrate was evaporated under vacuum. The residue
was dissolved in benzene (100 ml), filtered off, and
the filtrate was evaporated under vacuum. The
product was crystallized from the mixture benzene:
heptane (1:1).

tion of bisbromophosphine 9 (0.01 mol) in methy-
lene chloride (100 ml), water (20 ml) was added.
After 24 h, the organic layer was separated, washed
with water (20 ml), dried with sodium sulfate, and
evaporated under vacuum to afford the residue
which was boiled with ether (20 ml).

a solution of bisbromophosphine 9 (0.01 mol) in

the mixture was boiled for 10 h. On evaporation
under vacuum, the resulting residue was boiled first
with water (100 ml) and then with ether (50 ml).
