Abstract
Isomerization of 3-pentyl-5-methyl-1,2-oxathiolane-2-oxide in the presence of iodine is described. A mechanistic pathway which involves a ring-opening reaction by cleavage of the C-O bond with or without epimerization at the sulfur atom is proposed, consistent with the stereochemical investigations.
