Umpolung refers to the reversal of the normal polarity of a functional group in organic chemistry, allowing reactions that are otherwise difficult or impossible. In carbonyl chemistry, the carbon atom of a carbonyl group is normally electrophilic. Umpolung enables this carbon to behave as a nucleophile instead. A common method to achieve umpolung is through the use of 1,3-dithiane derivatives. 1,3-Dithiane is formed by the reaction of a carbonyl compound with 1,3-propanedithiol under acidic conditions. This converts the carbonyl carbon into a dithiane moiety, which can be deprotonated at the carbon atom
