The Other Face of Bunsen's Cacodyl Disulfide, Me2As(S)‐S‐AsMe2: The Lewis‐Base Behaviour Towards Heavy Metal Cations

Abstract: The reaction of Bunsen's cacodyl disulfide, Me2As(S)‐S‐AsMe2, with heavy metal cations in methanol produces insoluble salts (complexes) of dimethyldithioarsinic acid, Me2AsS2H, and dimethyl arsenium ion, Me2As:+. This arsenium ion prefers to react with Me2As(S)‐S‐AsMe2, when in excess, compared to AcO− or MeOH/H2O and it is also reactive towards sulfur (Sx, x = 1‐8) producing the stabilized dimethylarsino sulfenium cation, $\rm Me_{2}As- {\mathop{\rm{S}}\limits^{.}_{\ddot{}}} ^{+} \longleftrightarrow Me_{2}\ma… Show more

“…The complexation of 1 with MX 3 , observed only with BF 3 Á Et 2 O and AlCl 3 , conceivably can also be accomplished intramolecularly from 11 0 or 12 0 , Scheme 1. Decomposition of Lewis acid-base complex in the sense of 11 00 , similar to that postulated for the preparation of (Me 2 AsS 2 ) x M and for the unstable (Me 2 AsS 2 ) 3 Tl (see section 4.3 below), did not seem to have taken place [5]. GaCl 3 and InCl 3 afforded only 2 Á MX 3 without any sign of rearrangement to 1 Á MX 3 .…”
