Abstract
Cyclic trithiocarbonates can be desulfurized with diisobutylaluminium hydride (DIBAL) to form the corresponding thioacetals. This new synthetic pathway was exploited for the preparation of several Umpolung reagents, including 1,3-dithiane. An efficient isolation of sodium trithiocarbonate is described.
