Abstract

Abstract Novel method for transforming aldehydes and acetals into 1, 3-dithianes has been achieved with the aid of organotin thioalkoxides and organotin triflates. Under these reaction conditions, various acid-sensitive groups are tolerated. Differentiation between aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes and acetals has been realized.
