Ozone reacts with vinylsulphides and gives, with thiopinacolone and thiocamphor derivatives, products containing unmodified hydrocarbonchains; however, with 4-alkylthio-2,6-dimethylhept-3-ene the classical reaction of cleavage of the double bond has been observed.
Thiosilanes such as ethylthiotrimethylsilane, hexamethyldisilthiane, and t-butylthiotrimethylsilane, react readily with acyl chlorides at room temperature in the presence of potassium fluoride to give the corresponding thioesters in excellent yields.
