Production and Reactions
Production of SO as a reagent in organic syntheses has centred on using compounds that "extrude" SO. Examples include the decomposition of the relatively simple molecule thiirane 1-oxide: as well as more complex examples, such as a trisulfide oxide, C10H6S3O,
- C2H4OS → C2H4 + SO
The SO molecule is thermodynamically unstable, converting initially to S2O2. SO inserts into alkenes, alkynes and dienes producing molecules with three membered rings containing sulfur.

Famous quotes containing the words production and/or reactions:
“Just as modern mass production requires the standardization of commodities, so the social process requires standardization of man, and this standardization is called equality.”
—Erich Fromm (1900–1980)
“Cuteness in children is totally an adult perspective. The children themselves are unaware that the quality exists, let alone its desirability, until the reactions of grownups inform them.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
