The four-component cyclization of dilithium acetylide with dithiocyanatoalkanes yielded the hitherto unknown tetrathiacyclodiynes 34, 38, 41, and 43 in moderate yields. The use of the trimethylsilyl protecting group allowed a more efficient and flexible stepwise approach with good yields. The resulting tetrathiacyclodiynes 25−44 were investigated by X-ray analysis.
