Abstract

Triisopropylamine 1a and S2Cl2, in the presence of DABCO and formic acid, give the bicyclic amine 2a, and its N-dealkylated product 3, rather than the tricyclic bisdithiolothiazine system 7 produced by Hünig’s base 1b. However, when S2Cl2 is in molar excess over DABCO, Hünig’s base and related N-alkyldiisopropylamines 1c–g also give the analogous bicyclic compounds 2b–g together with the tricyclic compounds 7b–g. The N-benzyl compound 2c is debenzylated quantitatively to the secondary amine 3 by sulfuric acid. X-Ray crystallography of N,N-bis(dithiolyl)ethylamine 2b shows the two dithiole rings to be steeply inclined to each other (85°) and the geometry at nitrogen to be slightly pyramidal. The crystal packing is dominated by S[hair space][hair space]· · ·[hair space][hair space]O electrostatic and weak C[double bond, length half m-dash]O[hair space][hair space]· · ·[hair space][hair space]Cl charge-transfer interactions.
