The reactions of α-diazocamphor (6) with aromatic thioketones (9a-d) in dichloromethane at room temperature afforded mixtures of the stereoisomeric spirocyclic thiiranes (10) and (11). A reaction mechanism via [2+3] cycloaddition to give the spirocyclic 2,5-dihydro-1,3,4-thiadiazoles (13) and (14), subsequent elimination of nitrogen and 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization of the intermediate thiocarbonyl ylide (15) is proposed. The structure of the stereoisomers (10a) and (11a) has been established by X-Ray crystallography. Desulfurization of the mixtures (10/11) with triphenylphosphane in boiling THF yielded the alkylidene derivatives (12).
The conversion of thioketones to 1,2,4,5-tetrathianes and its mechanism

Thiobenzophenone and adamantanethione react with sulfur (1:1) under catalysis by sodium thiophenoxide in acetone at rt furnishing 1,2,4,5-tetrathianes (9 and 43) in high yields. An attack of the oligothiolate (R-SX-) on the C-atom of C = S is proposed as initiating step. Thione S-sulfides (R2C = S+ - S-, thiosulfines) cannot be intermediates, since they combine fast with thiones affording 1,2,4-trithiolanes. With more sulfur, adamantanethione produces the 1,2,3,5,6-pentathiepane-bis(spiroadamantane) (44) which interconverts with the tetrathiane, but not with the 1,2,4-trithiolane, in an equilibrium catalyzed by R-SX-. According to 13C NMR evidence, the tetrathiane-bis(spiroadamantane) occurs in a twist conformation which inverts with ΔG≠ 16.0 kcal mol-1.
