Abstract

Novel arene-bis-and-tris (α-oxoethanedithioate) esters of the benzene, the biphenyl, and, in particular, the naphthalene series were prepared by reaction of the corresponding diazoacetyl or bromoacetyl derivatives with elemental sulfur in the presence of triethylamine in dry DMF, and subsequent direct alkylation of the produced dithiocarboxylate anions. The thiolation reaction of the diazoketones was significantly promoted by the addition of ...
