title: The first 2,2-dialkoxythiirane.
abstract: [reaction: see text] Thermolysis of 1 at 110 degrees C in benzene containing adamantanethione leads to thiirane 2 in 92% yield, as an isolable, stable solid. Compound 2 is the first example of the hitherto unknown 2,2-dialkoxythiiranes. It shows some reactions characteristic of thiiranes.
