Structure of thiosulfonate ester.

Thiosulfonate esters are usually produced by oxidation of disulfides or the nucleophilic attack of thiolates on organosulfonyl halides.[1] The simplest thiosulfonate, CH3SO2SCH3 can however be prepared from dimethyl sulfoxide by treatment with oxalyl chloride.[2]

Thiosulfonate also refers to the thiosulfonate anion R−S2O2 and its salts. Alkali metal organylthiosulfonates are the salts of organylthiosulfonic acids (e.g., sodium methanethiosulfonate CH3−S2O2Na+). They are prepared by the reaction of organosulfonyl chlorides with sources of sulfide.[1][3]

Oxidation with mCPBA gives disulfones.[1]
