Abstract

Syntheses of the acenaphtho [1, 2-b][1, 4] dithiine derivatives 12, 25 and 29 are reported. Cyclic voltammetric studies reveal that these compounds undergo reversible single-electron oxidations at< 1.0 V, vs. Ag/AgCl. Lithiation of compound 12 with BuLi (2 equiv.) followed by addition of either methyl iodide or ethyl chloroformate yielded the unstable ring-opened acetylene derivatives 22a and 22b, respectively. A new synthesis of 1, 2-diselenine ...
