Thietane and its 2-substituted derivatives were synthesized. A general preparation procedure for the synthesis of thietanes bearing alkyl and aryl substituents in the (x-position was developed. Using this procedure, 2-substituted thietanes can be obtained from cheap and easily accessible raw materials in three steps. 2-R-Thietanes (where R = H, CH3, C4H9,C5H11,C6H13,C6H5) and the corresponding sulfoxides and sulfones were synthesized and examined. Intermediate and by-products of the synthesis were studied.

Catalytic synthesis of thiobutyrolactones via CO insertion into the C–S bond of thietanes in the presence of a heterodinuclear organoplatinum–cobalt complex
Heterodinuclear organoplatinum-cobalt complex having a 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligand (dppe)MePtâCo(CO)4 catalyzes CO insertion into the CâS bond of thietanes in THF at 100 °C under 1.0 MPa of CO for 2 h to give γ-thiobutyrolactone in quantitative yield.
