title: Synthesis and chemistry of enantiomerically pure 10,11-dihydrodibenzo[b,f]thiepines.
abstract: Several chiral thiepines were efficiently constructed using sulfur diimidazole in combination with a variety of bislithiated carbon fragments. The sulfur atom in these thiepines is found to be unusually unreactive compared to diphenylsulfide.
