The title compounds were obtained by simple transmetallation of the corresponding lithium derivatives with ZnCl2 or ZnBr2. Contrary to 2-lithio-1,3-dithianes, 2-zincio-1,3-dithianes can react with a number of electrophiles bearing reactive functional groups to afford highly substituted 1,3-dithianes in satisfactory to excellent yields. The synthesis of the new organozinc derivative, di(1,3-dithian-2-yl)zinc, which effectively adds to enones, is also reported.
