The reaction of benzoyl chloride with different potassium-O-alkyl xanthates (n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl) around 0 deg C afforded good yields of corresponding S-benzoyl-O-alkyl xanthates.The structure of these aroyl xanthates were consistent with the spectral data.Aroyl xanthates have been reported to be resistant to photolysis.It has, however, been observed in the present investigation that the fragmentation of these S-benzoyl-O-alkyl xanthates does occur on prolonged photolysis.Irradiation of these xanthates in benzene solution with mercury lamp for 60-70 hr resulted in the formation of benzoyl disulfide.Thermal decomposition around 250 deg C for 15 min gave benzoyl disulfide, corresponding ester and carbon disulfide.
