The tentative mechanism of isoprene transformation accompanying the autoxidation of S(TV) was suggested, which started with the addition of a sulphate radical to a double bond in isoprene, followed by addition of oxygen and formation of a peroxy radical. The peroxy radical reacted with sulphite ion to the alkoxy radical, which in turn reacted either with oxygen or with a sulphite ion to give respectively /rfl s-3-methyl-4-sulphoxy-2-buten-l-al or trctns-3-methyl-4-sulphoxy-2-buten-l-ol (Rudzinski e/a/., 2002 Rudzinski, 2004).
