Abstract

Abstract Dithioacetalization of carbonyl compounds was performed efficiently in CH2Cl2 at room temperature in the presence of MoCl5. Highly selective transdithioacetalization of acetals was also catalyzed efficiently by this catalyst. MoCl5 performed non-hydrolytic deprotection of dithioacetals in the presence of dry DMSO.
