Abstract

Abstract A wide variety of carbonyl compounds can be converted smoothly to the corresponding acetals on treatment with alcohols or diols and triethyl orthoformate in the presence of a catalytic amount of (bromodimethyl) sulfonium bromide at room temperature. Similarly, various carbonyl compounds can be transformed into the corresponding dithioacetals on reaction with thiol or dithiols at room temperature by employing the same ...
