The Reaction of Benzyl Phenylmethanethiosulfinate with Amines

Abstract

The reaction of benzyl phenylmethanethiosulfinate with morpholine was found to give dibenzyl trisulfide together with dibenzyl disulfide, benzaldehyde and N-thiobenzoyl-morpholine and the reaction mechanism was discussed. In the reaction with other secondary amines instead of morpholine, dibenzyl trisulfide was also obtained.
