W. Schroth et al., 1,2-DITHIINES AND PRECURSORS .16. SYNTHESIS, STRUCTURE, AND REACTIVITY OF NON-ANELLATED 1,2-DITHIINES, Tetrahedron, 52(39), 1996, pp. 12677-12698
Various monocyclic 1,2-dithiines 6a,b,d-t were prepared via (Z,Z)-1,4-
difunctionalized butadienes (4-11,19,20). A twisted cyclic structure A
is unequivocally proved rather than of the ringopened valence isomer
B. The reactivity of these 1,2-dithiines is described. Thermal as well
as day-light induced sulfur extrusion is an important feature of thei
r chemistry. The latter mode of sulfur extrusion depends to a signific
ant extent on absorption in the visible region. Copyright (C) 1996 Els
