1,2-Diketones are efficiently produced in two steps by reaction of aldehydes with anions derived from 2-substituted dithianes followed by treatment of the resulting alcoholis with NBS in aqueous acetone; phenytoin derivatives were prepared from these diketones by a standard method involving treatment with urea and potassium hydroxide under reflux.
