Abstract
This review covers the synthesis and applications of three- and four-membered sulfur-containing
rings with adjacent exocyclic unsaturation. Alkylidene thiiranes have been of largely
theoretical interest with few applications. Conversely, alkylidene thietanes and dithietanes
have been used as intermediates for the synthesis of a number of heterocyclic ring
systems. Publications related to both systems peaked a number of years ago, but it
is hoped that this review will stimulate interest and lead to new research in these
areas.
