Abstract

Evidence is reported that thiirenium ions are involved as intermediates in both the addition of benzenesulphenyl chloride to diarylacetylenes and in unimocular substitution reactions of β-phenylthiovinyl sulphonates. The thiirenium ion generated from 1,2-diphenyl-2-phenylthiovinyl 2,4,6-trinitrobenzenesulphonate undergoes nucleophilic attack by chloride ion both at the carbon atoms to give 1,2-diphenyl-2-phenylthiovinyl chloride and at the sulphur atom to give diphenylacetylene and benzenesulphonyl chloride which can be trapped by added scavengers.
