Abstract: Various aldehydes and ketones are smoothly converted to the corresponding acyclic and cyclic dithioacetals in very good yields by employing catalytic amount of acetyl chloride at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. Some of the major advantages of this procedure are its mild reaction conditions, highly efficient and selective, good yields, economically cheaper and compatible in the presence of a wide variety of other protecting ...
