Isolation of stable non cyclic 1,2-disulfoxides: revisiting the thermolysis of S-aryl sulfinimines

The thermolysis of S-aryl sulfinimines is shown to generate 1,2-disulfoxides and disulfides via initial Cope elimination, dimerisation of the produced sulfenic acid to a thiosulfinate, and subsequent disproportionation of the thiosulfinate.
