Abstract

Convenient methods for the synthesis of symmetrical trisulfides from aliphatic and aromatic thiols under mild conditions are based on the straightforward preparation of (5,5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorin-2-yl)disulfanyl derivatives from readily available 5,5-dimethyl-2-sulfanyl-2-thioxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane or bis(5,5-dimethyl-2-thioxo-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-2-yl) disulfide.
