The reaction of 1,3-dithiolanes with n-butyllithium results in fragmentation to the corresponding thiocarbonyl compound followed by furhter reaction with n-butyllithium.All four types of thiocarbonyl reactions are observed: reduction, S-addition, C-addition, double addition.Synthetic applications of this reaction for the synthesis of secondary mercaptans and 1,2-carbonyl transposition (23 -> 24a-c) are described.
