The first example using manganese(III) acetate in the reaction of 1,1- diarylethenes with α-mercaptoketones was examined. A mixture of the ethenes and α-mercaptoketones was treated with manganese(III) acetate in acetic acid, affording cycloaddition products in moderate yields, together with substituted products. The reaction may involve the formation of a carbonation and subsequent cyclization to give the substituted 2,3-dihydro-1,4-oxathiin 3. A similar reaction with thioglycolic acid gave 1,4-oxathiolan-2-one 7. While thiyl radicals easily formed by manganese(III) oxidation with ethanethiol or benzenethiol reacted with alkynes to give preferentially (E)- vinyl sulfides 10 in quantitative yields.
