Abstract

IN recent work1 we showed that bis(1,2-o-isopropylidene-3-o-thiocarbonyl-α-D-glucofuranose) disulphide rearranged on standing in basic organic solvents to give equimolar amounts of carbon disulphide, elemental sulphur, 1,2-o-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose, and 1,2-o-isopropyli-dene-α-D-glucofuranose 5,6-thionocarbonate. That work has now been extended to an investigation of bis(o-thio-carbonyl) disulphide derivatives (referred to as xanthides) of 1,2-, 1,3-, 1,4-, 1,5-, and 1,6-dihydroxy alkanes.
