Abstract
(Methoxy(thiocarbony1))sulfenyl chloride (1), a previously elusive compound, has now been generated by cleavage of methoxy(thiocarbonyl) N-methyl-N-phenylamino sulfide (7) with gaseous hydrogen chloride. The sulfenyl chloride 1 had limited stability and was characterized by trapping with O, O'-dimethyl thiocarbonate or with methanethiol to yield (methoxycarbonyl)(methoxy(thiocarbony1))disulfane (8) or (methoxy(thiocarbonyl))-methyldisulfane (9), respectively. Chlorination of acetyl methoxy(thiocarbonyl) sulfide (6) could be arrested at 1 plus acetyl chloride, and further chlorination of 1 provided (methoxydichloromethyl)disulfanyl chloride (5).
