Abstract

Thiolsulfinates react with trifluoro-or trichloroacetic anhydride to give equimolar mixtures of the corresponding disulfides and sulfinyl trifluoro-or trichloroacetates which are in equilibria with sulfenyl carboxylates. Although the equilibrium lies far toward sulfinyl carboxylates at room temperature, addition of olefins to the mixed solution of sulfinyl carboxylate and a corresponding disulfide affords the adducts which are formed in the reaction between the ...
