The corresponding S-oxides 2-6 could be obtained by oxidation of 2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dithietane (1).Similar oxidation of 2,2,4,4-tetrakis(trifluoromethyl)thiirane (8) yields the episulfoxide 12, but not the episulfone 14.Pyrolysis of 2, 3, 5, and 6 have been investigated and bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfine (7) could be isolated as the first member of perfluoroalkylsulfines as well as the sulfonylfluoride 13 being the product of isomerization of bis(trifluoromethyl)sulfene (9). 7 could also be obtained by ring opening from 3 with bases and by oxidation of hexafluorothioacetone (11), respectively.Solvolytic ring opening in 5 and 6 yields the sulfones 16 and 17.
