Abstract

Trichloromethyl compounds are efficiently converted into 1, 3-dithianes upon reaction with a disodium 1, 3-propanedithiolate-1, 3-propanedithiol mixture in DMF solution at 0° C. This synthesis is limited to those substrates where the substituent attached to the trichloromethyl group is an electron-withdrawing group.
