|  |  | Ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | clear yellowish liquid |  | Uses | Ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate is used in syn-selective aldol reactions. It undergoes asymmetric oxidation to give trans bis-sulfoxide. It is used to generate carbanon, which finds application in the preparation of alfa- keto esters. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Synthetic Communications, 11, p. 343, 1981 DOI: 10.1080/00397918108063615 |  | General Description | Ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate is an α-keto acid equivalent and bulky equivalent of acetate. It participates in syn-selective aldol reactions. It can be prepared from the reaction of ethyl diethoxyacetate and 1,3-propanedithiol in the presence of BF3/Et2O. Asymmetric oxidation of ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate by Modena protocol has been reported to afford trans bis-sulfoxide in 60% yield. Carbanion from ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate may be employed for the preparation of α-keto esters. |  | Purification Methods | Dissolve the ester in CHCl3, wash with aqueous K2CO3, twice with H2O, dry over MgSO4, filter, evaporate and distil the residue.
