Abstract

Contrary to a previous report, the sulfurisation of triphenylphosphines and trialkyl phosphites by 3-amino-1,2,4-dithiazole-5-thione (xanthane hydride) does not yield carbon disulfide and cyanamide as the additional reaction products but unstable thiocarbamoyl isothiocyanate which has been trapped with nucleophiles.

The reaction mixture was stirred for 5 min and then 0.92 g (6.7 mmol) of 4-nitroaniline in 20 ml acetonitrile was added. After 15 h, the acetonitrile was removed and the solid residue was quickly extracted with 3 · 40 ml of 3% aqueous potassium hydroxide solution. After filtration, the insoluble material which was practically pure triphenylphosphine sulfide (1.85 g, 94%) was recovered. The filtrate was immediately neutralised by concentrated HCl (pH = 3). Precipitated 1- (4-nitrophenyl)dithiobiuret was filtered off and dried. Yield 1.65 g (97%).

The same procedure was carried with trimethyl phosphite instead of triphenylphosphine. Yield of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)- dithiobiuret was 1.35 g (80%). 7. Davies, W. C.; Lewis, W. P. G. J. Chem.
