“…2-Thioxo-1,3-dithioles 323, which are good precursors of tetrathiafulvalenes upon dimerization-desulfurization, can also be obtained from DMAD, carbon disulfide and either bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine) disulfide or bis(morpholino) disulfide 322 at 140°C under nitrogen. 109 This methodology is not restricted to electrophilic alkynes since it also works with terminal alkynes. A mechanism involving a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition between carbon disulfide and a transient thioketocarbene was proposed (Scheme 91).…”
