2-Oxo-5,6-dihydro-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-b][1,4]dithiin (4) was prepared in four steps from cheap starting materials in high overall yield. Coupling of 4 with trimethyl phosphite in toluene gave bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene (5; BEDT-TTF; 2,2′-bi-5,6-dihydro-1,3-dithiolo[4.5-b][1,4]dithiinylidene) in 96% yield.
