HIGH-TEMPERATURE ORGANIC SYNTHESIS. XVII. REACTION OF CHLOROBENZENE AND ITS DERIVATIVES WITH DIALKYL DISULFIDES

The products from the reaction of chlorobenzene with dialkyl disulfides in the gas phase at 550-650 deg C are benzene, thiophenol, diphenyl sulfide, and also toluene, thiophene, and benzothiophene.Diethyl disulfide is most reactive.Its copyrolysis with chlorobenzene is distinguished by high selectivity for the formation of thiophenol, the yield of which amounts to 60percent.In the reaction of substituted chlorobenzenes and also 2-chlorothiophene and 1-chloronaphthalene with diethyl disulfide the corresponding thiols were obtained with high yields.Two paths for the formation of thiophene during the pyrolysis of dialkyl disulfide were established, i.e., from vinyl hydrosulfide and S-butyl radical.The last reaction is realized at a high rate.
