Abstract

Dithiane derivatives R 0490Sulfanylation of 1,3-Dithiane Anions by 5-(Alkylsulfanyl)-1-phenyltetrazoles. -An unusual reaction between 1,3-dithiane anions and S-alkylsulfanyl-1-phenyltetrazoles is discovered in an attempted synthesis of the C21-C30 fragment [cf. precursorIV)] of tetrafibricin. The dithiane anion formally displaces the tetrazole ring to provide sulfanylated 1,3-dithiane derivatives [cf. (III), (VII)]. -(GUDIPATI, V.; BAJPAI, R.; CURRAN*, D. P.; Collect. Czech. Chem.
