Indium-Catalyzed Reductive Dithioacetalization of Carboxylic Acids with Dithiols: Scope, Limitations, and Application to Oxidative Desulfurization

In this study an InI3-TMDS (1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane) reducing system effectively catalyzed the reductive dithioacetalization of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids with 1,2-ethanedithiol or 1,3-propanedithiol leading to the one-pot preparation of either 1,3-dithiolane derivatives or a 1,3-dithiane derivative. Also, the intact indium catalyst continuously catalyzed the subsequent oxidative desulfurization of an in situ formed 1,3-dithiolane derivative, which led to the preparation of the corresponding aldehydes.

A mild method for the protection of aldehydes as dithioacetals and dithiolanes catalyzed by I2 generated in situ using Fe(NO 3)3.9H2O/Nai under heterogeneous conditions

Structurally diverse aromatic aldehydes were thioacetalated in a clean and efficient reaction with ethane-1,2-dithiol and thiophenol based on the use of I2 generated in situ from Fe(NO3)3.9H 2O/NaI. The reaction occurs in good to high yield in dichloromethane at room temperature and the use of toxic and corrosive molecular iodine is avoided.

Tungsten hexachloride (WCl6) as an efficient catalyst for chemoselective dithioacetalization of carbonyl compounds and transthioacetalization of acetals

A variety of aldehydes, ketones and O,O-acetals were efficiently converted to the corresponding 1,3-dithianes and 1,3-dithiolanes by using catalytic amounts of tungsten hexachloride (WCl6) in CH2Cl2 under mild conditions.
