โฆ Synopsis
The dithiane synthesis of carbonyl compounds, as developed by Corey and coworkers , involves the conversion of the potential carbonyl carbon into a reactive 2-lithio-1,3-dithiane. We have

Since the late 1960's, considerable effort has been devoted towards the discovery of useful synthetic equivalents of the acyl anion'. Among the most widely used reagents are the metalated 1,3-dithiane derivatives2. The Michael addition of these acyl anion equivalents to a,B-unsaturated ketones is a
In a series of important papers 192 Nguyen Trong Anh and collaborators have discussed the importance of charge control vs. orbital control3 in reaction of nucleophiles with ambident4 sub-strates. Hard nucleophiles5 react in charge-controlled fashion whereas orbital control tends to prevail for soft
Aldehydes and acetals are cleanly and rapidly converted to the corresponding dithianes with 2,2-dimethyl-2-sila-1,3-dithiane and stoichiometric amounts of boron trifluoride etherate even in the presence of ketones, which do not react competitively with the reagent.
