Attempted oxidation of a TADDOL-derived bisthioacetate resulted in a rather unexpected and remarkable cyclization and deprotection reaction, giving a thiolane-1,1-dioxide as the main product. Systematic in situ ESI-HRMS studies revealed a bicyclic, highly acid labile key intermediate of this reaction. Supported by force field calculations, the high sensitivity of this intermediate was judged to be due to the formation of a highly strained trans-configured bicyclo[3.3.0]skeleton.
