Phenylsulfenylimines are much more resistant to conventional hydrolyses than the corresponding imines. See: Davis F.A., Slegeir W.A.R., Evans S., Schwartz A., Goff D.L., Palmer R. J. Org.

35. It would be interesting to investigate whether both pathways to (E)-6b from (E)-6a, summarised by means of arrows at the top of Scheme 3, are involved or not. In other words, if (Z)-6b is formed first and it immediately isomerises to (E)-6b, or if (E)-6b comes mainly from the small percentage of (Z)-6a that may be in equilibrium with (E)-6a under the reaction conditions. However, such a study is outside the scope of this communication
