A convenient procedure for the synthesis of Z-bis(alkylthio)ethenes

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/00397919108021789

Z-Bis(methylthio) and Z-bis(ethylthio)ethene have ben prepared in ~80% yields by successively adding Z- or E-1,2-dichloroethene (one mol equiv.), and absolute ethanol to a mixture of sodamide (two mol equivalents) and sodium alkanethiolate (two mol equiv.) in liquid ammonia.
