Thiobenzophenone and adamantanethione react with sulfur (1:1) under catalysis by sodium thiophenoxide in acetone at rt furnishing 1,2,4,5-tetrathianes (9 and 43) in high yields. An attack of the oligothiolate (R-S-x(-)) on the C-atom of drop C=S is proposed as initiating step. Thione S-sulfides (R2C=S+-S-, thiosulfines) cannot be intermediates, since they combine fast with thiones affording 1,2,4-trithiolanes. With more sulfur, adamantanethione produces the 1,2,3,5,6-pentathiepane-bis(spiroadamantane) (44) which interconverts with the tetrathiane, but not with the 1,2,4-trithiolane, in an equilibrium catalyzed by R-S-x(-). According to C-13 NMR evidence, the tetrathianebis(spiroadamantane) occurs in a twist conformation which inverts with Delta G not equal 16.0 kcal mol(-1).
