Ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate is a synthetic compound that is used in the synthesis of drugs. It is used in asymmetric synthesis to produce chiral products from achiral starting materials. The desulfurization reaction of ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate produces a mixture of the two possible stereoisomers of the product. This mixture can be separated by phase chromatography and then hydrolyzed to give the desired product. In dyslipidemia, ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate inhibits the activity of hepatic lipase and acidolysis. This inhibition leads to an increase in serum triglycerides and cholesterol levels. Ethyl 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxylate also has been shown to have antiplatelet properties when administered orally or intravenously to rats without affecting platelet aggregation rates.
