gem-Dithiois, R2C (SH) 2, havebeen prepared and isolated as chemical entities for the first time. They are formed, along with polysulfides, when aldehydes or ketones are heated with hydrogen sulfide under pressure. The structures of the gem-dithiols were established by diacylation to R2C (SCOR') 2l dialkylation to R2C (SR') 2, reduction to R2CHSH, and hydrolysis to the parent aldehyde or ketone. Other properties of the gem-dithiols are also described. gem-Dithiols are compounds of the general formula R2C (SH) 2. It appears that no member of this class has been isolated before now. Baumann2 treated neutral, aqueous formaldehyde with hy-drogen sulfide and by methylation and oxidation of an ether-extractable oil obtained CH2 (S02CH3) 2, a derivative of methanedithiol, but he did not iso-late methanedithiol itself. Mitchell, Ott and Reid3 reduced carbon disulfide with zinc and acetic acid and isolated heavy-metal salts believed to be derivatives of CH2 (SCSSH) 2, the condensation product methanedithiol. Farlow and Signaigo4 suggested that gem-di thiols might be intermediates in the catalytic conversion of aldehydes and ketones to mercaptans by hydrogen and either sulfur or hy-drogen sulfide under pressure, but did not isolate any such intermediate in a pure state. Kelber and Schwarz5 condensed aryl methyl ketones with carbon disulfide under the influence of potassium hydroxide and obtained ß-ketocarbodithioic acids, which in several reactions behaved as the enthiolic gem-dithiols, ArCOCH= C (SH) 2.
