Procedure

A mixture of 0.825 g (0.00375 mol) of trans-1,2-diacetoxy-1,2-dihydrobenzocyclobutene and 1.20 g (0.0034 mol) of rac-3'-acetoxy-3'-acetyl-1',2',3',4',5',8'-hexahydro-5',8'-dioxospiro[1,3-dithiolane-2,1'-naphthalene] [prepared as described in Example 5(A)] in 65 ml of xylene was stirred and heated under reflux under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 16 hours. The solution was evaporated to dryness and the residue was stirred with 20 ml of diethyl ether and filtered to give 1.259 g (82%) of rac-3'-acetoxy-3'-acetyl-1',2',3',4',5',12'-hexahydro-5',12'-dioxospiro[1,3-dithiolane-2,1'-naphthacene] in the form of a bright yellow solid of melting point 239°-241° C.
