Insertion of Benzyne and Substituted Benzynes into the S-S Bond of Diphenyl and Di-p-tolyl Disulfides Yielding the Corresponding o-Bis(arylthio)benzenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/bcsj.59.2907

Benzyne and substituted benzynes undergo insertion into the S-S bond of diphenyl and di-p-tolyl disulfides to afford the corresponding o-bis(arylthio)benzenes in low but reproducible yields.
