70. In contrast, the corresponding sulfur atoms in sulfurane 7 are over 3.5 Å apart, and its S-O bond lengths are similar to those in diphenyl sulfoxide 5 (ca. 1.5 Å) and triflyloxy sulfonium ion 6 (ca. 1.7 Å); as such, sulfurane 7 more closely resembles an adduct in which sulfoxide 5 and monocation 6 are connected through a long S-O bond (2.36 Å). Sulfurane 9 is similar in structure to sulfurane 7 except in the lengths of the apical S-O bonds. It is possible that sulfuranes 7 and 9 are intermediates in addition-elimination process that would allow the interconversion of monocation 6 and dication 8, or triflate exchange in 6:, N. Furukawa, S. Sato, Top. Curr. Chem. 1999, 205, 89-129.

80. 2O, even at room temperature, see Ref. [3]. Therefore, it must be an activated diphenyl sulfoxide species that reacts with diphenyl sulfide to produce sulfonium ion 13.
81. For a mechanism for self-immolative reduction of sulfoxides by triflic anhydride in the absence of competing nucleophiles, see:, Y. Macé, J.-C. Blazejewski, C. Pradet and E. Magnier, Eur. J. Org. Chem. 2010, 2010, 5772-5776. In principle this process could provide a fifth possible mechanism for the oxidation reaction reported here. The mechanism would start with attack of diphenyl sulfoxide on an electrophilic oxygen in activated sulfoxide 6 to generate a peroxysulfonium ion and diphenyl sulfide 24. These species would react together to form sulfonium ion 13 and peroxytriflic acid which could then oxidise oxathiane 34 to sulfoxide 37. However, we would consider this route very unlikely as the self-immolative reduction reaction is very slow taking days to reach completion and would thus not be competitive with the very rapid reaction that we observe between a sulfide and activated sulfoxide.
