Abstract
The present invention provides an improved procedure for the preparation of 3,6-disubstituted-1,2-dithiin derivatives, especially unsymmetrical 1,2-dithiins. In addition, the process offers significant process, scaleup, and safety advantages over the previously reported synthetic processes. The compounds synthesized by this new process and described herein are particularly effective in treating fungal infections, especially those caused by Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, Aspergillus fumigatus, Trichophyton rubrum, Candida parapsilosis, Candida tropicalis, or Candida krusei.
