Bis(N-methyl-N-phenyl-carbamo-yl)disulfane
Abstract:
The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(2)S(2), has been synthesized by several different high-yield routes, and has been encountered as a co-product in a number of reaction pathways, ever since it became of inter-est to our research program over 30 years ago. We now confirm the proposed mol-ecular structure in which the mol-ecule exhibits a twofold axis of symmetry through the mid-point of the S-S bond and the two planes defined by the (carbamo-yl)sulfenyl moieties are essentially perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle = 81.55 (14)°].

For disubstituted benzene derivatives, with two groups attached to the benzene ring, three constitutional isomers are possible. For example, consider dimethyl benzene, often called xylene, where the second methyl group can be substituted at the second, third, or fourth carbon. The relative position of the substituents is represented by prefixes ortho, meta, or...
