27. The disulfane 1,1-dioxide/tetrasulfane ratio was not 1/1 as anticipated from decomposition of the trisulfane 1-oxide; however, Harpp has pointed out that trisulfane 1,1-dioxides spontaneously extrude sulfur to form disulfane 1,1-dioxides: Harpp, D. N.; Ash, D. K.; Smith, R. A. J. Org. Chem. 1979, 44, 4135-4140.

29. (Trifluoromethyl )methyldioxirane (TFD) has a tendency to give more sulfone than observed in reactions of dimethyldioxirane (DMD). A mechanism to explain the excess sulfone formation that invokes a sulfurane intermediate has been suggested. Asensio, G.; Mello, R.; González-Núñez, M. E. Tetrahedron Lett. 1996, 37, 2299-2302. Consequently, it is conceivable that TFD reacts via a different mechanism than DMD. However, we consider this unlikely because at room temperature where the two reagents can be compared directly the oxidations of the trisulfane 2-oxide gave identical product mixtures.
