Abstract

Reaction of thiols with dihaloalkanes in the system hydrazine hydrate-base leads to alkyl(chloroalkyl) sulfides with different positions of the chlorine atom with respect to sulfur. The developed one-step procedure for the synthesis of such unsymmetrical sulfides is most suitable for arenethiols and alkanethiols having a long polymethylene chain. The reaction mechanism is discussed.
