Abstract

1,2-Dithietane radical cations exist in a nonplanar conformation. With trans-3,4-dimethyl substituents, the barrier to ring flip is >5 kcal/mol. Cyclohexene derivatives 7-10 possess a measurable barrier to ring flip. However, the radical cations 11-16 have a much lower barrier and only conformationally time-averaged ESR spectra are observed at -90°C. The 2,3-dihydro-1,4-dithiin ring of 11 or 19 is conformationally mobile but is locked in a half-chair conformation in 12 and 13.
