controlled syntheses typically do not detect the presence of SO proper, but instead the reaction of a chemical trap or the terminal decomposition products of S₂O₂ (sulfur and sulfur dioxide).

Production of SO as a reagent in organic syntheses has centred on using compounds that "extrude" SO. Examples include the decomposition of the relatively simple molecule ethylene episulfoxide:
