Abstract
Information has been presented systematically on the synthesis of sulphenamides and related compounds by reaction of sulphenyl chlorides and sulphur chlorides with amines and carboxylic acid amides; by reaction of chloramines with mercaptans; by transamination of N-acylsulphenamides; and by reaction of disulphides with amines. The following chemical reactions of sulphenamides have been examined: reaction with hydrogen halides; with acids and derivatives possessing coordinatively unsaturated atoms; and the addition of sulphenamides to the double bond of carbon disulphide, isocyanates, isothiocyanates and olefins. Data are given on the physical state of sulphenamides and on the region characteristic of the S–N bond vibrations.
