Naphtho[1,8-de][1,3]dithiin-1-bis(ethoxycarbonyl)methylides (3) were prepared by the reaction of naphtho[1,8-de]dithiins with diethyl diazomalonate in the presence of copper acetylacetonate. The sulfonium ylides 3 underwent photo-rearrangement giving olefin 5 quantitatively together with naphthalene-1,8-dithiole.
