As can be seen in Table I, several a-carbamoyl S-benzyl sulfides gave dichlorosulfenyl chlorides in good yield. Chlorine was an adequate substitute for sulfuryl chloride. The products here were easily obtained in a pure state and were stable pale yellow to white solids. They were characterized by their elemental analysis and nmr spectra. Their nmr spectra are interesting in that they suggest a large barrier to rotation around the NC bond; ...
