The S(IV)[C,C,N,O] spirosulfurane 19 and the lactam-sulfoxides 21, 22
and 23 with seven-, eight- and nine-membered rings have been prepared
by oxidation and dehydration of trifluoroacetylaminoarylcarboxyphenyl
sulfides and sulfoxides, respectively. A mechanism is proposed for the
formations of lactam-sulfoxides. The preparation of the starting sulf
ides and sulfoxides is also described.
