Reactions of chlorodithioformates and thiophosgene with metal thiosulphonates

Abstract

Alkyl (aryl) chlorodithioformates (1) react with potassium toluene-p-thiosulphonate (2) to give alkylthio(arylthio-) thiocarbonyl p-tolysulphonyl disulphides (4), trithiocarbonate SS-dioxides (5), and hexathioperoxydicarbonates (6); in the reaction of thiophosgene with (2), toluene-p-thiosulphonic acid anhydrosulphide (11) is formed.
