Participants

Reaction Steps

Butyroin (12.2 g), butane-1,2-dithiol (14.4 g) and p-toluenesulfonic acid (0.5 g) were dissolved in toluene (50 g) and the solution refluxed under a Dean-Stark trap. It was worked up as in Example 3 to give 2-ethyl-2,3-dihydro-5,6-dipropyl-1,4-dithiin as a clear greenish liquid, boiling range 92°-105°/0.025 mm, yield 8.5 g (44%). NMR(CDCl3), 0.78-1.14 δ (overlapping triplets), 1.21-1.80 δ (multiplet) 2.07-2.37 δ (complex quartet), 2.6-3.4 δ (multiplet).
