Abstract
Reaction of 2-sulfanylbenzoxazole with 1-iodopropan-2-one, 2-iodo-1-phenylethanone, and 2-iodo-1-(thiophen-2-yl)ethanone without solvent and bases afforded bis(benzoxazol-2-yl)disulfonium derivatives in a single preparative stage. The reaction proceeds as a domino-process and includes the alkylation of a sulfanyl group of benzoxazole, the reduction of iodoketone with hydrogen iodide, the oxidation of 2-sulfanylbenzoxazole to disulfide, the alkylation of disulfide atoms of sulfur, and the formation of triiodideanions. The yield of disulfonium derivatives increases twice in the presence of equimolar amount of iodine.
