Abstract

– We investigated the reaction between hexachlorocyclotriphosphazene ((NPCl2)3: HCCP) and thiols in the presence of bases. In MeCN/Et3N, two and/or four arylthio units were introduced in gem-mode selectively by controlling the amount of thiols: thus, HCCP was treated with 2 and/or 4 equivalents of ArSH/Et3N in MeCN to afford 2,2-dithiolated and/or 2,2,4,4-tetrathiolated products, respectively. Neither mono-thiosubstituted products, tri-thiosubstituted products, nor regioisomers (non-geminal products) were obtained. In contrast, when other solvents such as THF and Et2O or other bases such as NaH or K2CO3 were used, a mixture of dithiolated products, tetrathiolated products, and hexathiolated products was obtained.
