The synthesis of benzo-1,4-dithiafulvenes by a simple treatment of 2-substituted 1,3-benzodithiolium tetrafluoroborates - obtained starting from carboxylic acids or acyl chlorides and tetrafluoroboric acid/ ether complex - with acetonitrile water is reported.The reaction is very fast and affords the products in high over-all yields and under mild conditions.The reactions of benzo-1,4-dithiafulvenes with reducing agents (zinc/trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile, zinc/deuterated trifluoroacetic acid and acetonitrile, Raney nickel) and with oxidizing agents (hydrogen peroxide/ acetic acid, sodium hypochlorite, chlorine gas/water) are also reported.These reactions show the interesting synthetic potential of benzo-1,4-dithiafulvenes.
