8. General procedure for the synthesis of 2-iminium-1,3-dithiolanes: In a round-
bottomed flask equipped with
a
magnetic stirrer, were added S-
allyldithiocarbamate (1 mmol), I2 (1.5 mmol), and CH2Cl2 (10 mL). The
mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature. After completion of the
reaction, the solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was triturated
with diethyl ether to afford the products as yellow-brown precipitates.
Filtration and washing of the precipitate with diethyl ether (three times)
gave the pure products. Selected spectroscopic data: 3b: IR (KBr) 1632 cmÀ1

10. Synthesis of compound 4 by dehydrohalogenation of 2a: DBU (1.5 mmol) was
added to a solution of 2a (1 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (5 mL), and the resulting mixture
was stirred for 1 h at rt. The product was extracted with CH2Cl2 (2 Â 10 mL).
The combined organic layers were washed with water and brine and were
dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was
pure enough to give satisfactory spectroscopic data. E/Z (1:1) mixture of 4: IR
7. General procedure for the synthesis of 2-imino-1,3-dithiolanes: In
a round-
bottomed flask equipped with magnetic stirrer, S-allyl dithiocarbamate
a
(1 mmol), I2 (1.5 mmol), and CH2Cl2 (5 mL) were added. The mixture was
stirred at room temperature until conversion of the starting material was
complete (TLC). The reaction mixture was diluted with CH2Cl2 and was washed
with aqueous Na2S2O3 solution. (10 mL, 1 M). The organic phase was washed
with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and evaporated in vacuo. In most cases,
pure products were obtained. If needed, further purification was carried out by
column chromatography on silica gel, using a 2:8 ratio of ethyl acetate and
petroleum ether as eluent. Selected spectroscopic data: E/Z (1:1) mixture of 2c:
