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:
“An art whose limits depend on a moving image, mass audience, and industrial production is bound to differ from an art whose limits depend on language, a limited audience, and individual creation. In short, the filmed novel, in spite of certain resemblances, will inevitably become a different artistic entity from the novel on which it is based.”
—George Bluestone, U.S. educator, critic. “The Limits of the Novel and the Limits of the Film,” Novels Into Film, Johns Hopkins Press (1957)
“Prolonged, indiscriminate reviewing of books is a quite exceptionally thankless, irritating and exhausting job. It not only involves praising trash but constantly inventing reactions towards books about which one has no spontaneous feeling whatever.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
