Abstract

The mechanism of the reaction of 4__H__‐3,1‐benzoxathiin‐4‐thione (3) under flash vacuum thermolysis conditions has been studied by UV‐photoelectron spectra. It was shown that in the first step of the reaction at 400° 3 underwent the Schönberg–Newman–Kwart rearrangement to give 4__H__‐1,3‐benzodithiin‐4‐one (6). Increasing of the temperature to 650° resulted in the elimination of thioformaldehyde and the formation of benzothiet‐2‐one (1). Subsequent elevation of the temperature prompted presumably the ring opening of 1 to (6‐thioxocyclohexa‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ylidene)methanone (7) (at 680°), which at 700° eliminated CO and underwent a Wolff‐type ring contraction to give (cyclopenta‐2,4‐dien‐1‐ylidene)methanethione (2). UV‐Photoelectron spectra were recorded at different steps of the reaction and analyzed considering the theoretical evaluation of ionization potentials.

## Abstract The PE spectra of the 4,5‐dihydro‐3__H__‐pyrazoles 1, 2, of 2,5‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole 3, and 2,5‐dihydro‐1,3,4‐thiadiazole 4 have been recorded. Based on HAM/3, MNDO, AM1, and PM3 calculations, the ionization potentials have been assigned to molecular orbitals. The gas‐phase thermoly
