In accord with earlier studies, reaction of 2, 4-dinitrobenzenesulfenyl chloride with the sodium salt of I-nitrobutane led to 2, 4-dinitrophenyl 1'-nitrobutyl sulfide (75%). However, in the corresponding reactions of 4-chlorobenzenesulfenyl chloride and 2, 4- dichlorobenzenesulfenyl chloride with the sodium salt of 1-nitropropane, the sulfur- containing products were 4-chlorophenyl 4'-chlorobenzenethiolsulfonate and bis-(2, 4- ...
