Procedure

Mercury acetate (181 mg, 0.568 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of 4,4-dimethyl-2-thioxo-4H-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-c]pyran-6,7-dione (6) (100 mg, 0.406 mmol) in CH2Cl2/AcOH (3:1). The reaction was followed by TLC (silica, CH2Cl2) and after ca. 30 min the mixture is filtered through a celite pad to remove the mercury salts. The resulting solution was washed first with water (3×15 mL) and then with sat. aqueous NaHCO3 (5×10 mL), and dried over MgSO4. Removal of the solvent under reduced pressure afforded pure 4,4-dimethyl-4H-[1,3]dithiolo[4,5-c]pyran-2,6,7-trione (5) a pale beige solid. Yield: 65 mg (70%). 1H-NMR spectrum in CDCl3 (ppm): 1.88 (s, 6H). 13C-NMR spectrum in CDCl3 (ppm): 184.5, 163.5, 160.4, 153.5, 128.3 84.2, 31.8. Selected IR (neat, cm−1): 1746, 1693, 1641, 1552, 1453. MS-ESI calculated for C7H8O4S2 [M+H]+ 230.98. found 230.78; calculated for C7H8O4S2Na [M+Na]+) 252.96. found 252.79.
