Hexafluorothioacetone is an organic perfluoro thione compound with formula CF3CSCF3. At standard conditions it is a blue gas. [2]

Contents

Production

Hexafluorothioacetone was first produced by Middleton in 1961 by boiling bis-(perfluoroisopropyl)mercury with sulfur.

Properties

Hexafluorothioacetone boils at 8 °C. [3] Below this it is a blue liquid. [2]

Colour

The blue colour is due to absorption in the visible light range with bands at 800–675 nm and 725–400 nm. These bands are due to T1–S0 and S1–S0 transitions. [2] There is also a strong absorption in ultraviolet around 230-190 nm. [2]

Reactions

Hexafluorothioacetone acts more like a true thiocarbonyl (C=S) than many other thiocarbonyl compounds, because it is not able to form thioenol compounds (=C-S-H), and the sulfur is not in a negative ionized state (C-S−). [4] Hexafluorothioacetone is not attacked by water or oxygen at standard conditions as are many other thiocarbonyls. [2]

Bases trigger the formation of a dimer 2,2,4,4-tetrakis-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dithietane. [2] Bases includes amines. [4]

The dimer can be heated to regenerate the hexafluorothioacetone monomer. [2]

The dimer is also produced in a reaction with hexafluoropropene and sulfur with some potassium fluoride. [2] [5]

Hexafluorothioacetone reacts with bisulfite to form a Bunte salt CH(CF3)2SSO2−. [4]

Thiols reacting with hexafluorothioacetone yield disulfides or a dithiohemiketal:

R-SH + C(CF3)2S → R-S-S-CH(CF3)2. [4]
R-SH + C(CF3)2S → RSC(CF3)2SH (for example in methanethiol or ethanethiol). [4]

With mercaptoacetic acid, instead of a thiohemiketal, water elimination yields a ring shaped molecule called a dithiolanone -CH2C(O)SC(CF3)2S- (2,2-di(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dithiolan-4-one). [4] Aqueous hydrogen chloride results in the formation of a dimeric disulfide CH(CF3)2SSC(CF3)2Cl. [4] Hydrogen bromide with water yields the similar CH(CF3)2SSC(CF3)2Br. [4] Dry hydrogen iodide does something different and reduces the sulfur making CH(CF3)2SH. Wet hydrogen iodide only reduces to a disulfide CH(CF3)2SSC(CF3)2H. Strong organic acids add water to yield a disulfide compound CH(CF3)2SSC(CF3)2OH. [4]

Chlorine and bromine add to hexafluorothioacetone to make CCl(CF3)2SCl and CBr(CF3)2SBr. [4]

With diazomethane hexafluorothioacetone produces 2,2,5,5-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-l,3-dithiolane, another substituted dithiolane. [4] Diphenyldiazoniethane reacts to form a three membered ring called a thiirane (di-2,2-trifluoromethyl-di-3,3-phenyl-thiirane)

Trialkylphosphites (P(OR)3) react to make a trialkoxybis(trifluoromethyl)methylenephosphorane (RO)3P=C(CF3)2 and a thiophosphate (RO)3PS. [4]

Hexafluorothioacetone can act as a ligand on nickel. [6]

Hexafluorothioacetone is highly reactive to alkenes and dienes combining via addition reactions. With butadiene it reacts even as low as -78 °C to yield 2,2-bis-(trifluoromethyl)-3,6-dihydro-2H-l-thiapyran. [7]
