The kinetics of the [2+ + 4] cycloadditions of 1,3-dithian-2-yhum ions (1) with 1,3-dienes was investigated photometrically in dichloromethane. The second-order rate constants determined for the reactions of 1 with 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene (2a) and isoprene (2b) were identical to those calculated for the first step of a stepwise cycloaddition pathway by the correlation Ig k = s (E + N). Though a concerted cycloaddition pathway is not excluded by this finding, it is obvious that the transition states of these reactions are not noticeably stabilized by the simultaneous formation of two new σ bonds.
Electrophilic Chlorine from Chlorosulfonium Salts: A Highly Chemoselective Reduction of Sulfoxides

Herein, we describe a selective late-stage deoxygenation of sulfoxides based on a novel application of chlorosulfonium salts and demonstrate a new process using these species generated in situ from sulfoxides as the source of electrophilic chlorine. The use of highly nucleophilic 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB) as the reducing agent is described for the first time and applied in the deoxygenation of simple and functionalized sulfoxides. The method is easy to handle, economic, suitable for gram-scale operations, and readily applied for poly-functionalized molecules, as demonstrated with more than 45 examples, including commercial medicines and analogues. We also report the results of competition experiments that define the more reactive sulfoxide and we present a mechanistic proposal based on substrate and product observations.

The autoxidative condensation of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes is here reported. Treatment of 2-aryl-1,3-dithianes with n-BuLi in the absence of any electrophile leads to condensation of three molecules of 1,3-dithianes and formation of highly functionalized α-thioether ketones orthothioesters in 51-89% yields upon air exposure. The method was further expanded to benzaldehyde dithioacetals, affording corresponding orthothioesters and α-thioether ketones in 48-97% yields. The experimental results combined with density functional theory studies support a mechanism triggered by the autoxidation of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithianes to yield a highly reactive thioester that undergoes condensation with two other molecules of 2-aryl-2-lithio-1,3-dithiane.
Synthesis of 8-methylnonane-1,6,7-trien-4-one and related allenes as potentially useful synthetic precursors

The allenic ketone 8-methylnonane-1,6,7-trien-4-one and related allenes have been synthesized from simple commercially available materials. Since allenes analogous to 8-methylnonane-1,6,7-trien-4-one have previously been transformed to substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]octanones via corresponding bicyclo[3.2.0]heptanones, it is anticipated that the present allenic ketone may also undergo similar transformations. Substituted bicyclo[3.3.0]octanones are known synthetic precursors of tricyclic sesquiterpenes. Thus, 8-methylnonane-1,6,7- trien-4-one presents itself as a possible precursor for the synthesis of tricyclopentanoid ring system present in sesquiterpenes such as hirsutene and Δ9(12)-capnellene.
