✦ Synopsis

Triphenylthiosulfenyl chloride (1) reacts with disul®des RSSR, yielding tetrasul®des as the main products. The results of the insertion for dierent R groups are reported. A two-step mechanism involving the formation of unsymmetrical trisul®de intermediates containing the trityl group is proposed.

Chloro(triphenylmethyl)trisulfide (1) reacts under mild conditions with symmetric primary dialkyl disulfides and aromatic disulfides giving pentasulfides as the main products in good yield and selectivity. A mechanism involving a triphenylmethyl alkyl/phenyl tetrasulfide intermediate is discussed.
