Attempts were directed toward the synthesis of a variety of cyclic trisulfides, particularly by the reaction of N,N'-dibenzimidazolyl sulfide with dithiols.Only one monomeric cyclic trisulfide was prepared by this method; other cases yielded either mixtures of oligomers characterized as low molecular weight (5000) polymers or as products which spontaneously extruded sulfur to give the cyclic disulfides.We conlude that only where osmometric molecular weights or X-ray structures have been determined are monomeric cyclic trisulfides unambiguously defined.
