| Abstract: | 2-Chloro-3,4,5-tris(trifluoromethylthio)pyrrole ( 2a ), 3-Chloro-2,4,5-tris(trifluoromethylthio)pyarrole ( 2b ) and 3,4-dichloro-2,5-bis(trifluromoethylthio)pyrrole ( 2c ) react with silver nitrate/silver acetate in good yield to give the corresponding N-silver salts 3a-c . Compound 2b forms with an aqueous potassium hydroxide solution the N-potassium salt 4 . Compounds 3a and 3b react with iodine to give the dimeers 2,2′-dichloro-3,3,′ 4,4′5,5′-hexakis(trifluoromethylthio)-2,2′-bi-2H-pyrrolyl ( 5a ) and 3,3′-dichloro-2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexakis(trifluoromethylthio)-2,2′-bi-2H-pyrrolyl ( 5b ). The dimers dissociate in solution to the corresponding pyrrolayl radicals. The esr and endor spectra of 3-chloro-2,4,5-tris(trifluoromethylthio)pyrrolyl were measured; coupling constants are given. For the newly prepared substances melting-points, 19F-nmr and ir spectroscopical data are provided. |
