…example, the σ-sulfurane (C₆F₅)₄S, named tetrakis-(pentafluorophenyl)sulfurane, prepared at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F), decomposes to C₆F₅C₆F₅ and C₆F₅SC₆F₅ upon warming. On the other hand, if protected from moisture, acyclic and cyclic dialkyloxysulfuranes of type R₂(R′O)₂S are stable at room temperature and find utility as reagents in organic synthesis.
