Synthesis of methyliminosulphur difluoride and bis(methylimino)sulphur by the reaction of pentafluorosulphur chloride or sulphur tetrafluoride with methylamines

Abstract

Pentafluorosulphur chloride, SF5Cl, reacts with trimethylamine at –78° to give SF5Cl,(NMe3)2. This compound decomposes quantitatively at room temperature to yield sulphur tetrafluoride and (Me3N)2CIF.

Methyliminosulphur difluoride, CH3N[double bond, length as m-dash]SF2, has been synthesised by the reaction of methylamine with either pentafluorosulphur chloride or, preferably, sulphur tetrafluoride. Bis(methylimino)sulphur, (CH3N)2S has been synthesised by the reaction of methylamine with either a deficit of sulphur tetrafluoride or with methyliminosulphur difluoride. Certain physical and chemical properties of these new compounds have been studied.
