Chemical Structure

Basic Info
Basic properties: The 1,4-dithiane is an organic compound containing sulfur with the formula C 4H 8S 2. It consists of two sulfur atoms, four alternating methylene group (-CH 2 -), and a six-membered ring. 1,4-Dithiane can be a liquid or crystal with a pungent smell similar to that of thioethers. It is not soluble in water, but is easily soluble in organic solutions. This is a common multifunctional building block used in organic synthesis.
Chemical properties: 1,4-Dithiane’s sulfur atoms give it strong coordination and reduceibility. It is a good precursor for metal ligands, or it can be used in sulfide reaction. In acidic conditions the cyclic structure can be opened, producing derivatives such as 1,2-ethanedithiol. Through oxidation, it can be converted into cyclic sulfur compounds and sulfones.
Applications: 1,4 Dithianes can be used to synthesize thiocarboxylic acids, heterocyclic compounds, and polymer materials. In coordination chemistry, 1,4 Dithianes are used as chelating agents in order to form complexes with transition metals such as palladium and platinum. Derivatives of dithianes are used in materials science and medicine.

Main purpose
1. Protective reagents in organic synthesis
1,4-Dithiane is an important synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry, particularly used as a protecting group for carbonyl compounds (aldehydes and ketones).
One key use of it in synthesis is to construct 1,3-dithioacetal structures (dithiolane), which are used to temporarily “hide” the carbonyl groups of aldehydes and ketones, avoiding side reactions in subsequent reactions.
2. Umkehr reaction (reverse reaction) and C-C bond formation reaction
After lithiation (generating a negative ion), 1,4-dithiene can act as a C1 synthesizer to form new carbon carbon bonds, especially when constructing more complex molecular frameworks.
Used as a nucleophilic reagent after deprotonation
Used for carbon chain extension in various cross coupling reactions
3. Synthesis of intermediates for various heterocyclic or thio compounds
Due to the excellent departure and coordination abilities of sulfur atoms in the 1,4-Dithiane structure, 1,4-Dithiane is commonly used to synthesize the following types of compounds: sulfur-containing heterocycles such as thiophene, thiazole, etc. 1,4-Dithiane is used as a ligand to participate in metal organic chemical reactions and prepare high-energy materials
4. Pharmaceutical chemistry and pesticide synthesis intermediates
In the modification of drug molecular structures, sulfur-containing groups can improve the lipid solubility and metabolic stability of molecules. 1,4-Dithiane can introduce these sulfur-containing structures for the design of antibacterial and antifungal compounds, pesticide intermediates such as insecticides and acaricides, and as active drug scaffolds (especially in some novel heterocyclic candidate drugs)
5. Research on ligands/chelating agents
The two sulfur atoms in dithiene can coordinate with heavy metal ions to form stable chelates:
1 4-Dithiane for metal ion detection or separation, development of metal organic compound catalysts
