The chemistry of dithietes, 1,2,5,6-tetrathiocins and higher oligomers

Abstract

The synthesis and reactivity patterns of the strained dithiete ring are compared with their dimeric tetrathiocin counterparts and higher oligomers, highlighting: (i) their cycloaddition chemistry with organic dienophiles as a route to sulfur-containing heterocycles; (ii) their oxidative addition chemistry to low valent transition metal complexes to generate transition metal dithiolate complexes and; (iii) the base-catalysed isomerizations between different dithiete oligomers.
