S-tosylsulfene chloride — The first representative of a new class of sulfene halides

A representative of a previously unknown class of S-sulfonylsulfene halides — S-tosylsulfene chloride (1) — was prepared for the first time. It was shown that the reaction of sulfene chloride1 with cyclohexene yieldstrans-2-chlorocyclohexyl-p-toluene thiosulfonate, and the reaction with 1-hexene yields a mixture of 2-chlorohexyl-p-toluene thiosulfonate and 1-chloro-2-hexyl-p-toluene thiosulfonate.M.
