Summary
4-Methyl-3-phenyl-2-thiazolidinethione was reacted with both photochemically and chemically generated singlet oxygen. Despite reaction conditions which were selected to favor oxidation of the sulfide group, both reactions afforded a single product arising solely from thiocarbonyl oxidation.
