(Chemical Equation Presented) A range of carbonyl compounds including aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes and ketones were converted to the corresponding thioacetals in high yields in the presence of a catalytic amount of hafnium trifluoromethanesulfonate (0.1 mol %, room temperature). The mild conditions tolerated various sensitive functional and protecting groups and were racemization-free when applied to α-aminoaldehydes. Transacetalization and chemoselective thioacetalization of aromatic aldehydes in the presence of aliphatic aldehydes and ketones were also documented.

An efficient synthesis of a fully functionalized tetracycle (A-B-C-H) 7 containing a 1,4-bridged 10-membered lactone was developed. Phenolic aldol condensation between 2-methylsesamol (15) and Garner's aldehyde provided the protected amino diol 16, which
