Abstract
Reduction of a disulfide and subsequent trapping with thionyl chloride provides a trisulfide oxide. Heating this trisulfide oxide in the presence of dienes results in transfer of sulfur monoxide to form cyclic unsaturated sulfoxides in very good yields, along with recovery of the starting disulfide.
