A NEW ROUTE TO 1,3-DITHIOLES FROM MESOIONIC 2-PIPERIDINO-5-ARYL-1,3-DITHIOLIUM-4-THIOLATES - SYNTHESIS OF 2(1,3-DITHIOLAN-2-YLIDENE)-1,3-DITHIOLES AND TETRATHIAFULVALENES USING THESE NEW DITHIOLES
D. Lorcy et al., A NEW ROUTE TO 1,3-DITHIOLES FROM MESOIONIC 2-PIPERIDINO-5-ARYL-1,3-DITHIOLIUM-4-THIOLATES - SYNTHESIS OF 2(1,3-DITHIOLAN-2-YLIDENE)-1,3-DITHIOLES AND TETRATHIAFULVALENES USING THESE NEW DITHIOLES, Tetrahedron letters, 34(33), 1993, pp. 5289-5292
An original synthesis of 1,3-dithioles prepared from mesoionic 2-piper
idino-5-aryl-1,3-dithiolium-4-thiolates is described. The reaction of
the carbanion derived from 1,3-dithiole with carbon disulfide followed
by alkylation to yield 2(1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene)-1,3-dithiole is als
o reported. This synthesis of dithioles led to substituted tetrathiafu
lvalenes not accessible by our usual procedure.
