TLDR
The combination of P4S10 and hexamethyldisiloxane efficiently converts esters, lactones, amides, lactams, and ketones to their corresponding thiono derivatives and 3-oxoesters are converted to dithiolethiones by this reagent.
Abstract
The combination of P4S10 and hexamethyldisiloxane efficiently converts esters, lactones, amides, lactams, and ketones to their corresponding thiono derivatives. In the presence of elemental sulfur, 3-oxoesters are converted to dithiolethiones by this reagent. Yields are comparable to or superior to those obtained with Lawesson's reagent. The method has the advantage that reagent-derived byproducts may be removed by a simple hydrolytic workup or by filtration through silica gel, rather than by chromatography, as required for Lawesson's reagent.

Recent Advances in Organic Reactions Involving Elemental Sulfur

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarizes the advances from 2000 in the construction of organic molecules using elemental sulfur via sulfuration, oxidation, reduction, and redox condensation processes, and concludes that the use of elemental sulfur has been known since Antiquity and found widespread applications in the preparation of black gunpowder, the synthesis of sulfuric acid as well as other sulfur-containing compounds.

Application of the Rh(II) cyclization/cycloaddition cascade for the total synthesis of (+/-)-aspidophytine.

TL;DR: A new strategy for the synthesis of (+/-)-aspidophytine has been developed and is based on a Rh(II)-catalyzed cyclization/dipolar cycloaddition sequence that undergoes an efficient Lewis acid mediated cascade that rapidly provides the complete skeleton of aspidophytines.

TL;DR: In this paper, 3-oxo esters were shown to react with the dimer of p -methoxyphenyl-thionophosphine sulfide (1) and elemental sulfur in anhydrous toluene at 110° to give the corresponding 3H-1,2-dithiole-3thiones (2 ) in nearly quantitative yields.
