The photolysis of an enolizable 1,4-dithioketone is carried out for the first time. When submitted to a UV radiation at 254 nm, bisthiocamphor 5 led principally and unexpectedly to the mercaptoenethione 11. A rationalization of the result difference observed with the photolysis of thiocamphor 1 is proposed.
