3,5-Di-tert-butyl-1,2-dithiolium perchlorate (4) reacts with ethanol, piperidine or metal cyclopentadienides by carbophilic attack to form the addition products 2, 3 and 5 at the sterically hindered 3-position. Methyl- and phenyllithium cleave the 1,2-dithiolium ring in 4 by thiophilic attack giving rise to the β-methylthio- or (β-phenylthio)prop-2-enones 7 a, b. Nitromethane condenses with 4 in a complex reaction sequence to furnish the β-cyanoprop-2-enone 12.
