Abstract: The title compound, C₉H₂₀O₄S₂, has been obtained as an unexpected product when attempting to prepare a zinc(II) complex with the disulfoxide ligand 1,5-bis(ethylsulfinyl)pentane. The average S-C and S=O bond lengths are 1.781 (3) and 1.436 (2) Å, respectively. The two O-S-O angles [118.0 (1) and 117.2 (1)°] are nearly equivalent, with an average value of 117.6 (1)°. The molecular skeleton is almost fully extended in the crystalline state.
