Abstract

Thus, it appears that the reaction of allylic aluminum reagents with either dithienium tetrafluoroborate or 2-chloro-1, 3-dithiane is a way to 2-alken-2-yl-1, 3-dithianes 7. This reaction is particularly valuable from substituted allylic aluminum reagents since it enables the preparation of dithianes 7c-f which cannot be obtained through the alkylation of 2-lithio-l, 3-dithiane (4) with the allylic halides RCH= CHCH2X since such a reaction, which ...
