Abstract
The reaction of 2-ethoxy-1,3-dithiolane with a variety of active methylene compounds in the presence of a zinc chloride catalyst was investigated. By this reaction the introduction of a 1,3-dithiolan-2-yl group into the active methylene compounds was achieved. Some behavior of the 1,3-dithiolan-2-yl derivative of ethyl acetoacetate, which is one of the newly obtained compounds, was also briefly examined.
