Abstract
Potassium carbonate mediated methanolysis of optically active 1,3-oxat hiolane-2-thiones (5-membered cyclic xanthates) took place under very mild conditions to give optically pure 1,2-episulfides. Also, methanol ysis of ethanesulfonyloxy)alkyl]-1,3-oxathiolane-2-thiones and 2,4-dia lkyl substituted 1,3-oxathiolane-2-thione gave 2,3-episulfides, stereo specifically.
