The reaction of tetrasulphur tetranitride (N4S4) (1) with Grignard reagents (2a-h) and organolithium compounds (10a-h) was investigated.It was found that the reaction of (1) with (2) gave the corresponding disulphides (4a-h) in good yields together with 1,5-diaryl-1,3,5,2,4-trithiadiazapenta-2,3-dienes (3a-c), bisarylamino sulphides (5a and b), ammonium thiosulphates (6a-e), and thiosulphonates (7a-d).Reaction of (1) with (10a-f), generated from benzyl sulphides, afforded diaryl disulphides (4a, b, and e) in moderate yields accompanied by trans-stilbenes (11a and b) and 1,2-bisphenylthio-1,2-diarylethanes (12a and b).Reaction of (1) with diphenyl(phenylthio)methyl-lithium (10g), gave diphenyl disulphide (4a), the tetraphenylethylene (11c), and benzophenone (13a), while reaction of sulphur with (10g) afforded 1,2-epithio-1,1,2,2-tetraphenylethane (15) in 52percent yield besides (4a), (11c), and (13c).Reaction of (1) with 9-phenylthiofluoren-9-yl-lithium (10h) gave (4a), bifluorenylidene (11d), 1,1'-bisphenylthiobifluorenyl (12c), fluorenone (13b), fluorenylideneaminosulphenamide (14).
