Bispolysulphanes with a linear chain of 1-6 sulphurs have been prepared and characterised; in particular X-ray crystallographic analyses proved the structures of the tri- and tetra-sulphanes.The tri-to hexa-sulphanes were formed by reactions of O,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate with the appropriate dichlorosulphane containing two less sulphurs.The disulphane was prepared by chlorination of O-t-butyl S-methyl dithiocarbonate or by controlled desulphurisation of the trisulphane using triphenylphosphine; further desulphurisation provided the monosulphide. (Methyl thio)carbonylsulphenyl chloride is proposed as an intermediate in the above chlorination; it was synthesised by an indirect route and shown to rearrange to its isomer, (methylthio)carbonyl chloride.

A variety of sulfenyl chlorides have been reacted with a variety of alkoxythiocarbonyl compounds to give adducts which then lose (spontaneously, or upon thermolysis, or in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst) the alkyl chloride to provide an assortment of dithiocarbonyl compounds in good to excellent yields.The preparations of bis(chlorocarbonyl)disulfane (1), ((trichloromethyl)dithio)carbonyl chloride (2), ((alkoxycarbonyl)dithio)carbonyl chlorides (3 and 4), and (((alkylthio)carbonyl)dithio)carbonyl chlorides (5 and 6) by this methodology were optimized; some of the (alkoxydichloromethyl)disulfanyl adducts, e.g., ROCCl2SS(C=O)Cl (10) and ROCCl2SS(C=O)OR'(54), were reasonable stable and could be isolated.All new compounds were characterized by analytical data, 1H and 13C NMR, IR, UV, and mass spectrometry, and high-yield derivatizations with alcohols or N-methylaniline.The reaction with N-methylaniline was also adapted to a rapid, convenient, and precise analytical-scale assay of mixtures of compounds containing acid chloride and/or sulfenyl chloride functionalities.The kinetics, mechanism, and stereochemistry of the dithiocarbonyl synthesis are discussed.
