Abstract
Information on the scope and limitations of the ''Ramberg-Backlund'' approach to episulfone synthesis is provided. Several alpha-halothiane 1,1-dioxides have been converted into the corresponding isolable episulphones, but attempts to extend this procedure to related alpha-halo-thiepane, thiolane and thietane dioxides were unsuccessful. The first example of an acyclic episulphone to be prepared by the Ramberg-Backlund route is described.
