Synthetic routes to bis(5,5-dimethyl-3-thioxo-1-cyclohexenyl) sulfide have been studied. The title compound can be obtained by reaction of 3-chloro-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenethione with sodium thiosulfate and by condensation of 3-mercapto-5,5-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenethione. The reaction of bis(5,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-1-cyclohexenyl) sulfide with hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen chloride yields 3-oxo-3'-thioxobis(5,5-dimethyl-1-cyclohexenyl) sulfide.
