5,6-Di-tert-buty(-2,3,7-trithiabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene 7-endo-oxide (4) was prepared by addition of S2Cl2 to 3,4-di-tert- butylthiophene 1-oxide (3) in high yield. The oxidation of 4 with dimethyldioxirane gave a 7:1 isomeric mixture of 5,6-di-tert-butyl-2,3,7- trithiabicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene 2-endo-7-endo-dioxide (5a) and 2-exo-7-endo-dioxide (5b) quantitatively. The thermally labile 5 was shown to undergo a retro-Diels-Alder reaction that produces S2O and 3 in a reversible way. The resulting S2O was trapped by Diels-Alder reactions with dienes to give 3,6-dihydro-1,2-dithiin 1 -oxides in good yields. In the absence of the dienes, S2O disproportionates to SO2 and S3, and the resulting S3 underwent a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with 3 on its syn-π-face with respect to the S=O bond to give a trithiolane derivative, whereas in the presence of excess norbornene, it produced the 1,3-dipolar cycloadduct with norbornene in good yield. Thus, the retro-Diels-Alder reaction of 5 functions as an S2O and S3 source. DFT calculations at the B3LYP/6-311+G(3df,2p) level were carried out in order to explain why S2O disproportionates to SO2 and S3 and why S2O acts as a dienophile and not 1,3-dipole, whereas O3 and S3 serve as 1,3-dipoles.

Oxidation of elemental sulfur (S8) with dimethyldioxirane (or CF3CO3H) generates a disulfur monoxide equivalent ("S2O"). Yields of "S2O" of 30-40% are obtained from equimolar amounts of S8 and an oxidizing agent. "S2O" reacts with diazoalkanes to give dithiirane 1-oxides [Eq. (1)].

An improved procedure for the synthesis of 2,3-diphenyl-1,3-butadiene is reported along with its utilization in a simple synthesis of the S2O precursor, 4,5-diphenyl-1,2-dithiin-1-oxide.

Treatment of 4,5-diphenyl-3,6-dihydro-1,2-dithiin-1-oxide with coordinatively unsaturated transition metal complexes resulted in the production of S2O complexes and 2,3-diphenylbutadiene.A transition metal-assisted retro Diels-Alder mechanism has been proposed for this reaction.A series of IR and 1H NMR experiments and MNDO calculations on 4,5-diphenyl-3,6-dihydro-1,2-dithiin-1-oxide have been performed to gain additional information about this transformation.
