Acid-catalysed condensation of 1,3-benzenedithiol with aldehydes: A low dilution preparation of 1,3,10,12-tetrathia[3.3]metacyclophanes

The condensation of 1,3-benzenedithiol with aliphatic aldehydes and ferrocenecarboxaldehyde under acid catalysis in ethanol gave 2,11-disubstituted-1,3,10,12-tetrathia[3.3]metacyclophanes in poor to moderate yield. Each isolated macrocycle was found to consist of two geometric isomers, the proportio...
