Abstract
Abstract In a previous paper,1 we reported the formation of a resinous material (1) from the reaction of sulfur chloride with acetophenone which, upon treatment with DMF, yielded phenylglyoxylthiodimethylamide (4). We now report two additional resinous materials (5, 6), resulting from bromination of sodium phenacylthiosulfate (3) and diphenacyl disulfide (7) respectively, both of which not only resemble resinous 1 in appearance, but also yield 4 upon treatment with DMF in aqueous alkali. Resinous 1, 5, and 6 appear to have the same common basic structure and differ only in the number of sulfur atoms bonded between the common units. Cleavage at the sulfur-sulfur bonds and elimination of hydrogen halide then yields identical oxothioamides from 1, 5, or 6. The latter appears to be a general reaction, and several oxothioamides were prepared by this synthetic method from 1, 5, and 6 and various amides and amines.
