In conclusion, a very simple and benign method for the protection of various aldehydes and ketones as dithioacetals
using a catalytic amount of Preyssler-type heteropoly acid has been demonstrated. Further, the catalyst can be readily
recovered and reused, thus making this method profitable and environmentally acceptable. A high degree of
chemoselectivity, easy work-up, low reaction times and high product yields are the main advantages of this new
method, which will make it a useful and important addition to the present methodologies.
1. Experimental
1.1. General procedure for thioacetalization of aldehydes and ketones (1a–1p)
To a magnetically stirred solution of aldehyde or ketone (1a–1p) (2 mmol) and 1,3-propane dithiol (2) (2.1 mmol,
0.23 g) in CHCl3 (10 mL), Preyssler acid (0.1 mol%) was added. The mixture was stirred at room temperature and the
progress of the reaction was monitored by TLC using petroleum ether:EtOAc (7:3). After the completion of the
reaction, Preyssler acid was filtered and the mother liquor was washed with 10% NaOH solution (10 mL) and water
(10 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, respectively. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain
the corresponding product (3a–3p).
