Transdithioacetalization of acetals, ketals, oximes, enamines and tosylhydrazones catalysed by natural kaolinitic clay

Abstract

Natural kaolinitic clay efficiently catalyses the transdithioacetalization of acetals, ketals, oximes, enamines and tosylhydrazones with ethane-1,2-dithiol and propane-1,3-dithiol to produce the corresponding dithiolanes in high yields.
