Abstract

Many aldehydes and ketones, as well as aldehydo-and keto-acid derivatives, give stable odourless crystalline thioacetals and thioketals with 1, 2-dimethyl-4, 5-di (mercaptomethyl) benzene (I). The rate of this condensation differentiates between aldehydes and ketones, and between α-keto-acids and other keto-acids. α-Hydroxy-methylene-ketones and-esters react with (I) in the their aldehyde forms. The derivatives of (I) with α-hydroxymethylene- ...
