Abstract
The reaction of hexasodium benzenehexathiolate (1) and benzenehexathiol (7) with carbon disulfide is studied. Depending on the reaction conditions and the molar ratio of 1 or 7 to carbon disulfide the 1,3-benzodithiole-2-thiones 6, the 2,6-dithioxobenzo[1,2-d: 4,5-d′]- 5, the 2,5-dithioxobenzo[1,2-d: 3,4-d′]bis[1,3]dithiole 9 or the 2,5,8-trithioxobenzotris[1,3]dithiole (2) are obtained.
