4,5-Dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium chloride is an organosulfur compound. It is the chloride salt of the 4,5-dichloro-1,2,3-dithiazolium cation. It is a green solid that is poorly soluble in organic solvents.[1]

Synthesis

The compound is obtained by the reaction of acetonitrile with sulfur monochloride. The initial phases of this reaction entail chlorination of the acetonitrile. The resulting dichloroacetonitrile undergoes cycloaddition with sulfur monochloride:[1]

Cl₂CHCN + S₂Cl₂ → [S₂NC₂Cl₂]Cl + HCl

The cation is highly electrophilic. It hydrolyzes readily. Protic nucleophiles displace one chloride:[2][3]

[S₂NC₂Cl₂]Cl + 2 RNH₂ → S₂NC₂Cl(=NR) + [RNH₃]Cl

The compound was discovered by Appel et al.[4]
