In the presence of catalytic amounts of RhH(PPh3)4 and 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), 1-nitroalkanes reacted with a diaryl disulfide giving 1-arylthio-1-nitroalkanes in air. The equilibrium to form thermodynamically disfavored products was shifted by the rhodium-catalyzed oxidation of thiols to disulfides and water. The thiolation reaction of cyclic nitroalkanes proceeded in high yields provided that suitable diaryl disulfides were employed depending on the substrate: di(p-chlorophenyl) disulfide was used for the thiolation reaction of 1-nitroalkanes, 1-nitrocyclopentane and 1-nitrocycloheptane with acidic α-protons (pKa 16 and 17); di(p-methoxyphenyl) disulfide for 1-nitrocyclobutane and 1-nitrocyclohexane with less acidic α-protons (pKa ca. 18). Related reactivities were observed in the thiolation reactions of malonate and 1,2-diphenylethanone.

Sulfenyl halogenides 1 and 4 react with silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (2) to give aryl 3 and alkylsulfenic trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydrides 5, resp., in good yields; 3 and 5 could not be isolated because of their instability. 1H NMR spectroscopic data of 5a, b, each in dichloromethane and nitromethane, resp., are indicative of a dissoziation to adducts of alkylsulfenylium ions and the solvent.Whereas 3 do not react with aromatic compounds, addition products with diphenylacetylene, arylsulfenylvinyl trifluoromethanesulfonates 11, are formed smoothly, which under the reaction conditions immediately cyclize to give benzothiophenes 10 in excellent yields.
