Abstract:
A series of conjugated 4-alkenyl-1,3-dithiol-2-ones have been prepared by microwave-assisted rearrangement of S-(4-acyloxy-2-alkynyl)- O-ethyl xanthates in moderate to good yields. The synthetic approach is based on a combination of [3,3] and [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangements as well as the intermediacy of a reactive betaine that induces the ionic elimination of the acyloxy group. The [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangement was confirmed by a deuterium-labeling experiment.

Criteria for Aromaticity and the Hückel 4n + 2 Rule
For the first time, Eric Hückel, a German chemical physicist, derived a set of structural features for a compound to be classified as aromatic. This is now known as Hückel’s rule or the 4n +...
Thermal Sigmatropic Reactions: Overview
Sigmatropic shifts are classified based on an order term [i, j ], where i and j indicate the number of atoms across which each end of the σ bond migrates. Below are examples of a [3,3] sigmatropic shift in 1,5-hexadiene, referred...
