Diethoxytriphenylphosphorane (DTPP) initiates stereospecific cyclodehydrations of 2, 2'-bis (hydroxyethyl) sulfides to the corresponding 1, 4-oxathianes in a single step (70-85%) by GLC and 13C NMR analyses. The mechanistic details of Ph3P/CCl4-and Ph3P (OEt) 2-promoted cyclodehydrations are probed by specific deuterium labeling in combination with and 13C NMR spectroscopy. Carbon-13 NMR shift correlations, which are valuable for stereochemical and conformational assignments of substituted 1, 4-oxathianes, are also reported.Substituted 1, 4-oxathianes are important precursors in the synthesis of biologically significant 1, 4-oxathiins, which are themselves useful as fungicides and pesticides. 1 In addition, stereochemical and conformational descriptions of substituted 1, 4-oxathianes and their S-oxides have at-tracted considerable attention. 2 While several preparative methods are available for their construction, few exhibit the synthetic versatility suitable for strategic placement of various substituents within the basic heterocycle. 3 Results of recent studies from our laboratories have demonstrated that diethoxytriphenylphosphorane (DTPP) is useful for converting diols to cyclic ethers, 4,-mercapto alcohols to cyclic sulfides, 5 and ß-amino alcohols to aziridines. 6 Therefore, we envisioned that DTPP would ef-ficiently convert substituted 2, 2'-bis (hydroxyethyl) sulfides to 1, 4-oxathianes. It seemed reasonable that this objective could also be accomplished with high regio-and stereo-specificity since the mechanism of cyclodehydration of diols with DTPP does not involve steps that would com-
