Abstract

We report herein the use of DMDTC as an effective carbonyl dication equivalent in ketone synthesis. According to our strategy, we also successfully devised a synthetic pathway for S- methyl (trimethylsilyl) thioacetate which may be a potentially useful synthetic reagent in organic synthesis.
