The reaction of dialkyl malonate esters with P2S5/S8 in boiling xylene in the presence of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole/ZnO as catalyst produces 5-alkylthio-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thiones as major identifiable product. Moderate yields were obtained with malonate esters of primary alcohols. The reaction fails with malonate esters of secondary alcohols. Regarding the substituent in position two, dialkyl malonates with groups such as CH3, Ph, CH2Ph, OCH3 and Cl afford the corresponding 4-substituted derivatives whereas with Br and NO2 do not give the expected products. Some mechanistic evidences are described.
