20. Although dithiolane 1 had been employed in intermolecular nitrone cycloadditions, we chose to work on the dithiane derivative 3 as the synthesis of such substituted alkenes had already been successfully achieved and employed in epoxidation: (a) Aggarwal, V. K.; Barrell, J. K.; Worrall, J. M.; Alexander, R. J. Org. Chem. 1998, 63, 7128. In related Diels-Alder cycloadditions, dithiolane 1 was found to be more reactive and more selective than the dithiane analogue of 1:
