Synthesis of dithiane-based photolabile molecular systems

Synthesis of photolabile molecular systems based on lithiodithiane addition to carbonyl compounds is described. Dithianes of the spiro structure, e. g., 2,4,8,10-tetrathiaspiro[5.5]undecane and 2,4-dithia-8,10-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane are utilized as tethers, thus allowing for a modular approach to building a diverse set of photocleavable molecules. A variety of carbonyl compounds ranging from simple substituted benzaldehydes to formylated benzocrown ethers, carbohydrates or calixarenes are found to be suitable for this chemistry.
