Alkyl Dithiobenzoates 1 and O-methyl thiobenzoate (7) yield the benzaldehyde dithioacetals 2 or monothioacetals 8, respectively, by electroreduction in the presence of alkyl halides.The S-acylal 3b is formed from ethyl dithiobenzoate 1b in the presence of acetic anhydride. - The dithioacetals 5 and the ketene dithioacetals 6 are obtained by co-electroreduction of methyl dithiopropionate (4) with alkyl halides. - Conclusions about the reaction mechanism are drawn from voltammetric measurements.
