title: Synthetic strategies to chiral organosulfur donors related to bis(ethylenedithio)tetrathiafulvalene.
abstract: Syntheses of enantiopure organosulfur donors by three different strategies requiring only four-six steps are reported. The key step involves either double substitution of an enantiopure cyclic sulfate ester by a dithiolate, attachment of a chiral diol as a ketal, or completely diastereoselective cycloaddition of 1,3-dithiole-2,4,5-trithione to an enantiopure alkene.
