Abstract
Triphenylthiosulfenyl chloride (1) reacts with disulfides RSSR, yielding te trasulfides as the main products. The results of the insertion for differen t R groups are reported. A two-step mechanism involving the formation of un symmetrical trisulfide intermediates containing the trityl group is propose d. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
