Abstract

2,3,5-Trithiahexane reacts with the mercaptide anion derived from 1-propanethiol to furnish, inter alia, a family of trithiocarbonates. Key reaction products are identified and their yields determined by GCMS. A complete mechanism is proposed for the unexpected formation of these novel products.
