Abstract

Abstract An effective synthesis of 2-oxo-1, 3-propanedial monohydrate or mesoxaldehyde (6a) and the first synthesis of 2, 3-dioxo-1, 4-butanedial (18) as a thiane derivative are reported. These first members of the smallest vicinal tri-and tetracarbonyl compounds are stabilized by conversion to thiane derivatives 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 19, which can be isolated as long-lived compounds at room temperature. The structures of these novel ...
