4-Alkanesulfinyl-DELTA4-1,3-oxathianes are formed by oxidation of 4-alkylthio-DELTA4-1,3-oxathianes using metachloroperoxybenzoic acid. Treatment of 4-Alkanesulfinyl-DELTA4-1,3-oxathianes with butyllithium resulted in desulfinylation to simpler DELTA4-1,3-oxthianes in moderate yields. Both alkylthio- and alkanesulfinyl- substituted oxathianes were found to resist attack by nucleophiles precedented to add to ketene dithioacetals. It is speculated that the fixed geometry of the endocyclic C-S bond of these compounds renders them stereoelectronically resistant to nucleophilic attack.
