Abstract
Both the direct and the photoinduced oxidation reactions of chlorine-substituted thiobenzamides (1b-3e) have been investigated. Asymmetric chlorophenylthiadiazoles (4b-4e) were identified as the principal transformation products. Oxidation of 2, 6-dichlorothiobenzamide (le) with nitrous acid unexpectedly afforded the corresponding 2, 6-dichlorophenyl mustard oil (3e), which has a strongly enhanced herbicidal action.
