The 1,3-dithiane is a protected formaldehyde anion equivalent that could serve as a useful labeled synthon. We report a facile synthesis of 1,3-[2-(13)C]- and 1,3-[2-(13)C, 2-(2)H2]dithiane in two steps from [(13)C]- or [(13) C, (2)H3 ]methyl phenyl sulfoxide. We have

Apo and holo forms of retinoic acid receptors, and other nuclear receptors, display differential sensitivity to proteolytic digestion that likely reflects the distinct conformational states of the free and liganded forms of the receptor. We have developed a method for

A series of α-amino-1,3-dithianes have been synthesized via the asymmetric Umpolung reaction of 2-lithio-1,3-dithianes with chiral N-phosphonyl imines in good chemical yields (up to 82%) and good to excellent diastereoselectivities (>99:1). The manner by which chiral N-phosphonyl imines are slowly

The IR spectra of 1,3-dithiane-1-oxide (I) and 1,3-dithia-1-oxocyclohept-5-ene (II) were recorded in solution, solid and liquid phase over 4000-400 cm(-1) spectral range. It was found that both (I) and (II) in liquid phase and solutions exist in two conformations: (I)

A novel sensitive and specific Hg(2+) chemodosimeter, derived from 1',3'-dithiane-substituted 2,1,3-benzoxadiazole, displays "turn-on" fluorescent and colorimetric responses via an Hg(2+)-triggered aldehyde recovery reaction. Its potential to monitor Hg(2+) in living organisms has been demonstrated using zebrafish larvae.
