Reaktionsschritte

3-Ethoxycarbonyl-2-methyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin (10.0 g.) is heated at reflux for eight hours in a solution of potassium hydroxide (85%; 3.60 g.) in methanol (40 ml.). The cool solution is acidified wth 10% aqueous hydrochloric acid and the precipitate is removed by filtration and dried (8.1 g.). The crude product is recrystallized from ethanol to afford 2-carboxy-3-methyl-5,6-dihydro-1,4-dithiin, m.p. 179°-180° C., dec.
