Özet

A detailed study of the reactions of phosphorus pentasulfide and Lawesson's reagent with a series of 4,5-bis(RCOCHS)-1,3-dithiole-2-thiones (R-Ph, 4-MeOC6H4, 4-Br C6H4, Me) has been carried out. These reactions lead to fusion of either an unsaturated 1,4-dithiin ring or a thiophene to the dithiole; the former in higher yield, while the latter is a significant product in the reactions with Lawesson's reagent; as well as small amounts of minor products. A mechanistic rationalization of these products is discussed in some detail. The new fused dithioles have been converted to novel series of fused TTF derivatives. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
