The compound is prepared by ortho-lithiation of benzenethiol using butyl lithium followed by sulfidation. It was first prepared from 2-aminobenzenethiol via diazotization. Alternatively, it forms from 1,2-dibromobenzene. The synthesis of this chemcial is as follows:

 1. C₆H₅SH + 2BuLi → C₆H₄SLi-2-Li; 2. C₆H₄SLi-2-Li + S → C₆H₄(SLi)₂; 3. C₆H₄(SLi)₂ + 2HCl → C₆H₄(SH)₂ + 2LiCl 

Reactions of this chemical: Oxidation mainly affords the polymeric disulfide. Reaction with metal dihalides and metal oxides gives the dithiolate complexes of the formula LnM(S₂C₆H₄) where LnM represents a variety of metal centers, e.g. (C₅H₅)₂Ti. Ketones and aldehydes condense to give the heterocycles called dithianes.

C₆H₄(SH)₂ + RR’CO → C₆H₄(S)₂CRR’ + H₂O
