2-Formyl-2-methyl-1,3-dithiane 1-oxides undergo very highly diastereoselective heterocycloaddition reactions with Danishefsky's diene (E-1-methoxy-3-trimethylsilyloxy-1,3-butadiene) mediated by magnesium bromide to give after mild acidic work-up 2-(3,4-dihydro-4-oxo-2H-pyran-2-yl)-2-methyl-1,3-dithiane 1-oxides.
