…acid known as dialkyl sulfites—dimethyl sulfite, MeOS(O)OMe, for example—can be made from alcohols and thionyl chloride: 2MeOH + Cl2S=O → MeOS(=O)OMe. Cyclic sulfite esters, made in a similar manner from 1,2-diols (1,2-dialcohols), and their oxidation products, cyclic sulfate esters, find considerable use in organic synthesis.
