Abstract 3,4‐Dialkylthiophenes are formed in good yields by heating di(1‐alkenyl) disulfides at 150‐200° in the presence of potassium hydrogen sulfate. Thermolysis of alkyl 1‐propenyl disulfides gives mixtures of sulfur‐containing compounds, consisting mainly of 3,4‐dimethylthiophene, dialkyl disulfide, alkyl and 1‐alkenyl monosulfides, and dialkyl trisulfide.
