Unusually facile oxathioacetal transfer reaction: an efficient, highly selective catalytic deprotection protocol
Abstract
CF3SO3SiMe3-catalysed one-to-one exchange of oxathioacetals to carbonyl compounds in the presence of 4-nitrobenzaldehyde is performed efficiently at room temperature, the protocol developed provided selective and effective deprotection of oxathiolanes in the presence of thioacetals.
