Since the S-S bond of polysulfides plays a vital role in biological processes, the chemistry of the S-S bond has attracted considerable attention.The reaction of bis-(trifluoromethyl) trisulfide with organolithium reagents at -78 deg C has now been found to cause simultaneous scissions of the C-S and S-S bonds and to furnish mixed monosulfides, disulfides and trisulfides containing the trifluoromethyl moiety.The formation of the various products has been rationalized on the basis of the involvement of the single electron transfer process.

, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of perhaloalkylthioethers by bringing a perhaloalkyl halide, preferably a bromide or an iodide, into contact with a disulphide in the presence of zinc and of sulphur dioxide or of a dithionite or of a hydroxymethanesulphinate or of a formate anion and sulphur dioxide.
