30. 298 = 28.6 kcal/mol) of this process justifies why the reaction of 1g and 2 does not occur at room temperature. In view of this barrier energy, the process might be feasible at higher temperatures. However, tropothione 2 is reported to be thermally unstable. See: Machiguchi, T. Tetrahedron 1995, 51, 1133
