Abstract

The reaction of 9, 10-dihydro-9, 10-(1, 3-epidithio-2-methano-2-p-methoxyphenyl-1-oxide) propanoanthracene (3) with perchloric acid in the presence of 1, 3-butadienes and electron- rich olefins gave 1, 2-dithiins and episulfides, respectively. The reaction is explained in terms of an intermediate anthracene endodisulfide with transfer of singlet diatomic sulfur to the dienes and olefins.
