Electrogenerated polysulphide ions S3.- and S82- readily react with haloaromatics, ArX, activated by nitro electron-withdrawing substituents in dimethylacetamide.Nucleophilic substitutions on fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (1a; X = F), halo-4-nitrobenzenes (2a; X = F, Cl, Br, I) and 2-nitrobenzenes (3a; X = F, Cl, Br, I) lead to the coloured arylmonosulphide (1b; X = S-) and aryldisulphide (2c-3c; X = S2-) ions.From the reaction kinetics studied by UV-VIS spectrophotometry, the order of reactivity is ArF > ArBr >, ArI > ArCl.The proposed SNAr mechanism implies that the dianions S62- and S82- are the nucleophilic agents (S62- >> S82-) rather than the S3.- and S4.- radical anions.

The relative rates of nucleophilic substitution (SN2) of alkyl halides by aromatic thiolates ArS- and aryldisulphide ions ArS2- have been studied in dimethylacetamide by UV-visible spectrophotometry for Ar = 4-nitrophenyl (1), 2-nitrophenyl (2), and 8-quinolyl (3).Rate constants are relative to the rate constants for benzenethiolate ions (4), studied as reference.With Ar = (1), the reaction rate for disulphide ions is ten times higher than that for monosulphide ions stabilized by the elevated delocalization of their charge.With Ar = (2) and (3), the reactivity of disulphide ions is higher than that of the corresponding thiolates.Our study is consistent with the uncomplicated introduction of a disulphide bond into various substrates from aryldisulphide ions stabilized in aprotic dipolar media.
