Biological activity | 1,3-Dithiane is a protected formaldehyde anion equivalent that can be used as a useful marker synthon. 1,3-Dithiane is a sulfur-containing Maillard reaction product (MRPs) found in cooked beef extracts. 1,3-Dithiane had a potent mutagenic effect on Salmonella typhimurium TA98 and TA100. |
Uses | Due to the reactivity of the methylene group between two sulfur atoms, it is widely used in organic synthesis Used in organic synthesis. |
Production method | The mixture of boron trifluoride ethyl ether solution, glacial acetic acid and chloroform is heated and refluxed under vigorous stirring, and 1, 3-propanedithiol and methylaldehyde dimethanol-chloroform solution are added dropwise. Then cool to room temperature. Wash with water, 10% potassium hydroxide solution and water in turn. The chloroform solution is separated from the solution for drying and concentration, the residue is dissolved in methanol, heated to boiling, filtered while hot, the filtrate is cold to room temperature, let stand overnight at -20 ℃, filter out the crystals, and dry in vacuum to obtain 1, 3-dithiane. |
