Description

~08;~7~0 This invention relates to a ~rocess for the production of organic sulphides and disulphides corresponding to the formula (I) Rl - C - S - C -ll x S S
wherein x is 1 or 2 and R represents a radical corresponding to the formula R2_o- or R ~ , R being an aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbon radical N--containing from 1 to 12 carbon atoms whose carbon chain may be interrupted by one or more oxygen atoms and R and R being alkyl groups having 1 to 6 car-bon atoms which process comprises oxidizing a compound of formula (II) Rl - c S9 ~3 .' S
wherein Rl is as defined above and Y is the cation of a monovalent metal, with a halogen or pseudohalogen at a temperature of from -20 to 60 C in a solvent which is a mixture of water and an aliphatic alcohol, the alcohol be-ing from 50 to 80% by weight of the solvent, and then heating the reaction mixture to cause the reaction mixture to separate into an alcoholic phase whieh eontains the required eompound and an aqueous phase.
The oxidation may optionally be carried out in the presence of an inert gas.
Preferred halogens are ehlorine and bromine; preferred pseudohalo-gens are cyanogen chloride and cyanogen bromide.
The oxidation of eompounds corresponding to formula (II) into compounds of formula (I) is basically known. Oxidation reactions of this kind are accompanied by the formation of large quantities of inorganic salts in aqueous solution.

856,834 thnt isopropyl xanthogenate can be oxidised with sodium hypochlorite in a mixture o~ i~opropanol and water.
Although particularly pure x~nthogen disulphide is said to be formed, large quantitles o~ water have to be used in order to di~solve the sodium hypochlorite, 80 that large quantitie~ Or dilute aqueouR mlneral salt solutions are formcd.
The process according to the invention a~iord~ the advantage over this prior art th~t only small quantities oi water are required. A mixture Or water and aliphatic al~ohol is u~ed ~or carrying out the proce~s. Monohydric or poly-hydric aliphatic alcohols with 2 to 6 carbon atoms are particularly suitable, monohydric alcohol~, especially propanols and butanols~ bein~ particularly preferred.
.. ~
Particularly suitable radicals R2 in formula (I) are alkyl radic~ls with 3 to 12 carbon atoms, cycloalkyl radicals with 5 to 7 carbon atoms and straight-chain, branched-chain and cycloalkyl ether radicals. Examples are isopropyl, n-butyl, hexyl, octyl.
Particularly suitable radicals R3 are methyl, ethyl, i-propyl and n-butyl.
l Cations of monovalent metals are in particular the cat-- ions of sodium and potassium.
Particularly 3uitable starting materials are dlalkyl dithiocarbamates having 1 to 4 carbon atom~ in the alkyl group with sodium as the cation, also aliphatic ~odium xanthog~nates.
Examples o~ suitable starting materials are sodium diethyl i dithio carbamate, 1,~-dioxa-5-ethyl-5-methylene xanthogenate, sodium dimethyl dithio carbamate.
Le A 16 6~2 - 2 -'' -' ~ ' ~ ~ ' . ' . ' ... ' 108~7~0 To carry out the proce~s, the tarting compounds are dis~olved in water/alcohol mixtures, followed by the intro-duction into the resulting solution with vigorous stirring Of halogen or a p~eudohalogen optionally togather with air. The temperatures applied are generally in the range from about -20 to +60C and pre~erably in the range from O to 30C.
The ratio by weight o~ water to alcohol in the mixture generally amounts to between 5 : 95 and 95 : 5 and preferably to between 20:80 and 50:50.
; Halogen or pseudohalogen may be used with advantage insubstantially stoichiometric quantities or even in a deficit or exce~s. It is particularly preferred to use chlorine gus and cyanogen chloride. Inert gas, for example air or nitrogen, may be added to the halogen in a ratio by volume of halogen to inert gas Or I :lOO.
On completion of the reaction (reilected in many cases in a rall in the pH-value), the reaction mixture may be heated to temperatur~ of up to 80~C. As a result the reaction mixture generally separates into two liquid phase~, which the alcoholic phase contains the organic sulphide or disulphide iormed and the aqueous phase contains the mineral salt iormed. The pha~es may readily be separated one rrOm the other.
The quantity Or water in the reaction mi~ture may be selected in such a way that all the mineral salt dissolves, in which ca~e a highly concentrated salt solution~ which may readily be worked up, is obtained. It is also poesible to use a ~maller quantity oi water, in which case some oi the salt is obtained in solid rorm. The alcohol may also Le A 16 632 - 3 -.

In all cases, the reaction mixture can be worked up without difficulty. Eifluents containing inorganic snlts are prevented from being formed in large quantities by volume.

the aqueou~ phase (74.8 g) was eeparated o~f. The product was recryetallised from the organic phaee (679.3 g) at 0C.
