“…The hydrolysis was performed with an acidic exchange resin (Amberlite IR-120) 180,181,206 or concentrated hydrochloric acid in water. 207,209 Thietan-3-ones were also obtained by the cycloaddition reaction between 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanethione 305 and diphenylketene, which gave compound 306 via a [2+2] cycloaddition reaction (Scheme 82). 210 The cycloaddition of thiobenzophenone and diphenylketene has been reported to give 2,2,4,4-tetraphenylthietan-3-one in 85% yield.…”
