Sulphonyl halides synthesis

Sulphenyl Halides.— Illustrative procedures for the synthesis of sulphenyl halides reported during the period under review employ well-established methods, Tetrachloropyridine-4-sulphenyl chloride is obtained from the corresponding disulphide by chlorinolysis, while the corresponding sulphonyl chloride is formed in AcOH or hydroxylic media. 2-Methyl-2-propanesulphenyl iodide is obtained from the thiol with la, or from the sulphenamide with HI addition reactions of selenium dichloride, or seleninyl chloride, to acetylene are specific examples of generally applicable reactions - (HC=CH + SeCU C1CH=CH-Se-Cl). The chlorination of CSa under activated charcoal catalysis has been developed as a continuous process, giving trichloromethanesulphenyl chloride.
