Abstract

Abstract The synthesis and characterization by X-ray crystallography of 1, 2, 6, 7- tetrathiacyclodecane is described. Two routes to the compound are given:(A) Treatment of 1, 3-propanethiol with I2/triethylamine in CHCl3 under titrimetric high dilution conditions and (B) Oxidative cyclization of 1, 5, 6, 10-tetrathiadecane. Recrystallization from hexane yields crystals (mp 131–132° C) belonging to space group P21/n with cell dimensions (at 140 K) ...
