Hydrolysis, polarographic reduction, and other reactions were studied of the unsubstituted five-, six-, and seven-membered disulfides, the 1, 1-dioxides, and the 1, 1, 2, 2-tetroxides. 1, 2-Dithiane 1, 1, 2, 2-tetroxide reacted less readily with thiophenol than the 1, 1-dioxide but oxidized a thiolate quantitatively to the disulfide by a mild method of possible generaluse; its reactivity with nucleophiles resembled that of a disulfide, except for greater susceptibility to alkali (all three tetroxides were readily cleaved at pH 8); its pyrolysis gave tetrahydrothiophene dioxide but in low yield. Generalizations are difficult but seem usually to be for easier cleavage of the five-membered systems than of the six-membered ones (with the seven-membered systems variable) andfor greater resistance to self-polymerization or to attack of a thiol bythe more oxidized forms but for lesser resistance to hydrolysis and electrochemical reduction. The dioxides and tetroxides are quite promising intermediates for synthesis. 1, 2-Dithiane 1, 1-dioxide underwent “oxodisulfide cleavage” by thiolate ion to give disulfides 1, 2, and 3 containing a sulfinate moiety, which in turn were converted intoalkyl sulfones (4 and 5), an aryl sulfone (6), or a sulfonate (8). A typical disulfide product (4) disproportionated to the symmetrical disulfides com-parably with resistant classes, affording a synthesis of a disulfide sulfone. 1, 2-Dithiane tetroxide underwent “oxodisulfide cleavage” with alkali to give a sulfonate salt containing a sulfinate moiety (11), which was con-verted into a disulfide dioxide (12). Product 3 was active as an antiradiation drug.The previous paper in this series compared syntheses for thefive-, six-, and seven-numbered cyclic disulfides (1, 2-dithiolane, 1, 2-dithiane, and 1, 2-dithiepane), their 1.1-dioxides, and their 1, 1, 2, 2-tetroxides. lc The present paper first considers relative stabilities and reactivities of these substances under various circumstances. It then demonstrates utility of such substances for synthesis of a variety of structures otherwise difficultly obtainable. Whether the future will justify the hope that model reactions of the types described will prove general for cyclicdisulfides and their oxidation products remains to be seen, but we are optimistic that these prototypes will suggest useful approaches for many ring-size and ring-substitution situations. Instability of 1, 2-dithiolane, apparently at least partly a consequence ofrepulsion between nonbonding electrons on the two sulfur atoms, 1 2
