Irradiation of dihydro-2H-thiopyran S-oxides 1a-g in benzene leads via desulfuration to the α,β-unsaturated aldehydes 2 and 3 mostly as mixtures of their E/Z-isomers.The assignment of their configurations is based on 1 H- and 13 C-NMR data which are discussed in detail.This type of photoreaction represents a new four-carbon homologation method for the carbonyl compounds from which the dihydro-2H-thiopyrans 1 are synthesized.It is shown by deuterium labelling of the S-oxide 1c that the photoreaction 1-> 2+3 involves an intramolecular hydrogen transfer.
