Abstract: The 1,2-addition of α-oxoketene dithioacetals with methallyl Grignard reagent afforded the carbinols 2. 5 and 6 respectively. Catalyzed by sulfuric acid, 2 and 5 were converted to the same product (such as 3c)3 (or 4) when mercaptan (or phenyl-sulfohydrate) was used as the nucleophile. The above conversion was believed to proceed via a substitution cyclo aromatization mechanism. Under the same condition, compound 6 was converted to the cycloaromatization product 7. Based on the experimental facts, a reactivity order 1,3-propy-lenedithio>1,2-ethylenedithio>dimethylthio was proposed to the substitution cycloaromatization reaction.

Key words: α-Oxoketene dithioacetal, Methallyl Grignard reagent, Adduct, Mercaptan, Substitution cycloaromatization reaction
