Iodine oxidation of unsaturated bunte salts

Abstract
Oxidation of pent-4-enyl thiosulphate with iodine in refluxing water–ethanol yielded 2-ethoxymethyltetrahydrothiophen and 2-hydroxymethyltetrahydrothiophen instead of the expected pentenyl disulphide; treatment of pentenyl disulphide with iodine in refluxing water–ethanol produced the same products and the same percent yields as the oxidation of the 4-pentenyl-1-thiosulphate.
