The Sulphur Nitrogen Bond 1. Lewis Acid Adducts of Tetrasulphur Tetranitride 2. Reaction of Sulphur with dl-α-Methylbenzylamine

Abstract

<p> Adducts of aluminum chloride and aluminum bromide with tetrasulphur tetranitride have been prepared and characterized. The reaction of trimethylaluminum and triethylaluminum with tetrasulphur tetranitride has been studied. The reaction of sulphur with α-methylbenzylamine has been investigated, and the reaction mechanism proposed by Sasaki for benzylamine reacting with sulphur has been found to be consistent with the data, provided certain limitations are imposed. </p>
