Oxocarbons and Related Compounds; Part 16.1 Synthesis of 3-Alkylthio- and 3-Arylthio-3-cyclobutene-1,2-diones (S-Alkyl and S-Aryl Thiosemisquarates) The reaction of semisquaric chloride (1) with thiols 2 (X = H) has been investigated. In the presence of triethylamine (Method A) only moderate yields of S-alkyl thiosemisquarates 3a-d were obtained. Moderate to good yields of S-alkyl and S-aryl thiosemisquarates 3a-f were obtained in the presence of aluminum chloride (Method B) and by the reaction of 1 with trimethylsilyl sulfides 2 (X=SiMe3) in the presence of aluminum chloride (Method C).
