Abstract

Abstract Two methods of synthesis of bisethylthiopolymethylene sulfides RS (CH 2 S) n R (R= Et, n≥ 1) are developed. Both approaches are based on the reductive cleavage of the SS bonds in diethyl polysulfides or a mixture of diethyl polysulfides with elementary sulfur by the system: hydrazine hydrate-base. Subsequent alkylation of the formed thiolate anions with dichloromethane leads to the formation of mixtures of oligomeric ...
