Abstract
Abstract: Evidence was collected for the intermediate formation of thionium ions in Brønsted acid-catalyzed [2 + 2] photocycloaddition and electrophilic addition reactions to enone dithianes and dithiolanes. Low-temperature NMR studies helped to elucidate the structure and configuration of the thionium ions and thus support previous and current results obtained by UV/Vis spectroscopy.
