A new preparative method, characterization, and reactivity of disulphide dication salts of cyclic bis-sulphides: R2S–SR2·2CF3SO3–
Abstract
The reaction of 1,5-dithiacyclo-octane 1-oxide with trifluoromethanesulphonic anhydride affords the corresponding disulphide dication as a stable crystalline salt which serves as an oxidizing agent in the oxidation of 1,2-diphenylhydrazine; the disulphide dication of 1,4-dithiane has also been isolated.
