Abstract

Some years ago it was reported that mercaptols and alcohols undergo interchange reactions in the presence of catalysts of the" Friedel-Crafts type" such as hydrochloric acid, zinc chloride or p-toluenesulfonic acid. 3 The reaction is of practical value for the preparation of ketal~.~ No indication could be found about reactions of mercaptals or mercaptols with thiol^.^ In order to find out whether such interchange reactions take place we allowed ...
