Abstract

A literature search shows that, although, there are some rare examples of conversion of dithioacetals to the corresponding O,O-acetals using methyl-fluorosulfonate. 4 There are, to our knowledge, no report presenting the interconversion of oxathioacetals to their acetals. Consequently, the developments of new and general methods for this purpose are being pursued. In our development of new methods for functional group transformation, we are ...
