Reaction of Sb(III) halides with 1,2-dimethyl-4,5-di(mercaptomethyl)benzene

Abstract

1. The reactions of SbBr3 and SbF3 with 1,2-dimethy1-4,5-di(mercaptomethyl)benzene gave 3-bromo- and 3-fluoro-7,8-dimethylbenzo[e]-2,4,3-dithiastibepine, respectively. 2. The major product of the reaction of SbF3 with 1,2-dimethy1-4,5-di(mercaptomethyl)-benzene is 3-fluoro-3,3′-spitobi(7,8-dimethylbenzo[e]-2,4,3-dithiastibepine). © 1988 Plenum Publishing Corporation.
