Abstract
The reaction of dimethyl disulfide in I 2 with a series of methylene-interrupted methyl dienoates was examined. In all cases ring-closure occurs and thietane formation competes favorably with tetrahydrothiophene formation. When the I 2 concentration was increased, tetrahydrothiopyran formation was observed. These results are explained in terms of two distinct reaction pathways.
