Pyrolysis (fvp) of a strained γ-sultine (3) produced 1H-indene-1-carboxaldehyde (8) and naphthalene.The key step in the production of aldehyde (8) involves a 1,3-dipolar cycloreversion, as evidenced by the trapping of an intermediate sulfene (6) with methyl acrylate.A diradical pathway is proposed for the formation of naphthalene.
