The reaction of 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-3-thioxocyclobutanone (1) with dimethyl diazomalonate in the presence of Rh2(OAc)4 in toluene at 50_C yielded a mixture of three products 10, 11, and 12. Thiocarbonyl ylide 8 is believed to be the common intermediate. The formation of 10 is rationalized by the 1,3-dipolar electrocyclization of 8 to give spirocyclic thiirane 9, which spontaneously eliminated sulfur. On the other hand, the 1,5- dipolar electrocyclization of 8 led to 1,3-oxathiole 11, which is converted into lactone 12 by hydrolysis.
