Rapid and Effective Synthesis of Diarylsulfur Diimides from Substituted Anilines and Sulfur Monochloride

Abstract

A one-pot and effective procedure has been developed for the synthesis of symmetrical diarylsulfur diimides from anilines, sulfur monochloride, and DABCO in good yields (70–90%). A plausible mechanism for this transformation has been proposed.

Key words

amines - dimerization - imides - anilines - diarylsulfur diimides - sulfur monochloride
