Abstract

The preparation and chemistry of compounds containing the 1, 4-dithiene ring structure have never been thoroughly investigated. Steude, prepared this type of ring structure by hydrolyzing ethyl thioacetoacetoacetate. The yields of 2, 5-dicarbethoxymethyl-1, 4-dithiene were very small, and though attempts to improve the yields were made, no successful method was discovered.
