Efficient transformations of trithio- and triseleno-orthoesters into ketene dithio- and diseleno-acetals
Abstract
Sequential treatment of trithio- and triseleno-orthoesters with a Lewis acid followed by a base leads to ketene dithio- and diseleno-acetals in good yield; SnCl4 or TiCl4 and Pri2EtN or Et3N are the most efficient reagents.
