A sequential C1-homologation-nucleophilic substitution tactic is presented for the preparation of rare unsymmetrical dithioacetals. The judicious selection of thiosulfonates as convenient sulfur electrophilic sources - upon the homologation event conducted on an intermediate a-halothioether - guarantees the release of the non-reactive sulfonate group, thus enabling the subsequent nucleophilic displacement with an external added thiol [(hetero)- aromatic and/or aliphatic]. Uniform high yields and excellent chemocontrol were deduced during the extensive scope study, thus documenting the versatility of the direct technique for the preparation of these unique and manipulable materials.
