Abstract

The first step of this reaction is very likely the attack of aryl radical on the sulfur atom of carbon disulfide leading to the radical 5. Three kinds of reactions are possible from this intermediate:(1) loss of carbon monosulfide generating arylthio radicals which afford 2 by dimerization;(2) homolytic substitution SH2 on a sulfur atom of sS bond of 2 to give 3, and (3) reversible reaction with iodine to afford 4 (Scheme 11).
