The nitro group in the title compound, C(10)H(11)NO(2)S(2), is almost coplanar with the benzene ring, making a dihedral angle of 3.42 (8)°. The 1,3-dithiane ring adopts a chair conformation. The crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular C-H⋯O and C-H⋯π [C⋯Cg = 3.4972 (10) Å] inter-actions.

Various 2-substituted-1,3-dithiane oxides (1-oxide and 1,3-dioxide) have been metalated reacted for the first time with a trialkylborane (trioctylborane). The 2-chloro-1,3-dioxide results in migration of an octyl group from boron to carbon displacement chloride gives nonanoic acid after oxidation, but there is no evidence second involving sulfenate group. reaction lithiation 2-methoxy-1-oxide t...

A readily accessible iridium(iii) phenyl-tetrazole complex ([Ir(ptrz)2(tBu-bpy)]+, 2; Hptrz = 2-methyl-5-phenyl-tetrazole; tBu-bpy = 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine) is shown to be a versatile catalyst for a new photocatalytic Michael reaction. Under light irradiation in the presence of 2, a dithiane 2-carboxylic acid, obtained by simple hydrolysis of a commercially available ethyl ester, ge...

Novel photolabile amphiphiles containing thioxanthone-based fluorogenic caging groups are developed. Photoinduced fragmentation in dithiane-thioxanthone adducts was demonstrated to occur with 100% quantum efficiency at λ ~ 320 nm and more than 50% at λ ~ 360 nm. A plausible mechanism involves homolytic fission of a carbon-carbon single bond in the excited thioxanthone followed by disproportiona...

A unified approach for the construction of the potent marine antitumor agents (+)-tedanolide (1) and (+)-13-deoxytedanolide (2) is described. Highlights of the synthetic strategy include the development of a versatile bifunctional dithiane-vinyl iodide linchpin, the unorthodox use of the Evans-Tishchenko reaction, and a late-stage high-risk stereocontrolled introduction of the C(18,19) epoxide ...
