%X Condensation of 1,2-diketones and a cyanothioacetamide gave hydroxy thiolactams which failed to give the expected 3-cyano methylene thiolactams on dehydration. Disulfides and a thiosulfonate were obtained from the dehydrations. A possible mechanism for their formation is proposed. The crystal structure of the disulfide 4,4&#8242;,5,5&#8242;-tetramethyl-1,1&#8242;-diphenyl-2,2&#8242;-disulfanediyldi-1H-pyrrole-3-carbonitrile (9) has been determined by X-ray diffraction.
