Abstract

Abstract On treatment of a 2, 5-bissilylsubstituted thiophene S-oxide or dibenzothiophene S- oxide with trifluoroacetic anhydride, the equillibria between the corresponding substrates and hypervalent sulfur compounds (sulfurane or λ 4-sulfane) have now been first detected by low temperature NMR experiments. By elevating the temperature to room temperature, in the case of the thiophene S-oxide, the sulfurane detected was converted to 3-thiolene-2- ...
