Abstract

Abstract Non-stereospecific ring expansion reactions of 5-membered heterocyclic sulfoxides, 1, 3-benzoxathiole sulfoxides, 1, 3-benzodithiole sulfoxides, and 1, 3-dithiolane sulfoxides having a heteroatom at β-position to the sulfinyl group with acetic anhydride or p- toluenesulfonic acid are described together with thier reaction mechanism involving a sulfonium ion intermediate.
