Abstract

Abstract A variety of carbonyl compounds have been successfully converted to the corresponding thioacetal derivatives in good to excellent yields on reaction of carbonyl compounds with 1, 2-ethanedithiole, 1, 3-propanedithiol, and ethylthiol in the presence of a catalytic amount of benzyltriphenylphosphonium tribromide (BTPTB) under solvent-free conditions. Some of the major advantages of this method are mild reaction conditions, ...
