Fused aromatic and heterocyclic 1,2,3,4,5-pentathiepins react with triphenylphosphine and alkynes bearing electron-withdrawing groups to give the corresponding 1,4-dithiins in high yields. Unsymmetrical alkynes add regioselectively to afford products in agreement with the electron distribution in a proposed reaction intermediate. A mechanism for these reactions is proposed.

Treatment of simple pyrroles, pyrrolidines and indoles with S₂Cl₂ and Dabco in chloroform at room temperature gives their fused pentathiepino derivatives 4, 6, and 8, in extensive cascade reactions; the reaction profile is changed and the regioselectivity enhanced when the S₂Cl₂ and Dabco are premixed and equilibrated before the heterocycle is added.
