ResultsSynthetic.—From the results of Desai and Tilak, 9 it appears that naphthalene 1, 8-disulfide (I) was first prepared by Lanfrey, 10 who caused naphthalene and sulfur to interact in a hot iron tube. Price and Smiles11 also reported the preparation of I, starting with 1-aminonaphthalene-8-sulfonic acid. Our initial attempts to repeat the work of Price and Smiles were rather confusing. Characterization of the intermediates, however (cf. Experimental Section), indicated that, despite some unnecessary steps, these workers had indeed prepared I. The route reported by Price and Smiles (broken lines) and the reactions which we have found to occur(full lines) are depicted in Chart I. Thus, the disulfide-bissulfonic acid salt (IV) is obtained directly from copper-sulfurdioxide treatment of the diazonium salt (II) and further treatment with hydrogen iodide11 is unnecessary. Treat-ment of IV with phosphorus pentachloride does not give the disulfonyl chloride as previous workers had assumed9’11 but rather the cyclic thiosulfone (V)(a new compound) is formed. This, on zinc-hydrochloric acid reduction, followed by air oxidationof the resulting dithiol (VI), gives I. Naphthalene-1, 8-dithiol (VI) is also readily methylated to give 1, 8-bis (methylthio)-naphthalene (VII). 11
