Bispolysulphanes with a linear chain of 1-6 sulphurs have been prepared and characterised; in particular X-ray crystallographic analyses proved the structures of the tri- and tetra-sulphanes.The tri-to hexa-sulphanes were formed by reactions of O,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate with the appropriate dichlorosulphane containing two less sulphurs.The disulphane was prepared by chlorination of O-t-butyl S-methyl dithiocarbonate or by controlled desulphurisation of the trisulphane using triphenylphosphine; further desulphurisation provided the monosulphide. (Methyl thio)carbonylsulphenyl chloride is proposed as an intermediate in the above chlorination; it was synthesised by an indirect route and shown to rearrange to its isomer, (methylthio)carbonyl chloride.
