1-Benzenesulfinyl Piperidine (BSP)/Triflic Anhydride: An Effective Combination for the Hydrolysis of Dithioacetals

Abstract

The combination of 1-benzenesulfinyl piperidine and triflic anhydride, in conjunction with an aqueous workup, hydrolyses a broad range of dithioacetals to the corresponding carbonyl compounds under very mild, non-oxidative conditions.

acetals - aldehydes - hydrolyses - ketones - protecting groups
