Indium-Catalyzed Reductive Dithioacetalization of Carboxylic Acids with Dithiols: Scope, Limitations, and Application to Oxidative Desulfurization
In
this study an InI<sub>3</sub>-TMDS (1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane)
reducing system effectively catalyzed the reductive dithioacetalization
of a variety of aromatic and aliphatic carboxylic acids with 1,2-ethanedithiol
or 1,3-propanedithiol leading to the one-pot preparation of either
1,3-dithiolane derivatives or a 1,3-dithiane derivative. Also, the
intact indium catalyst continuously catalyzed the subsequent oxidative
desulfurization of an in situ formed 1,3-dithiolane derivative, which
led to the preparation of the corresponding aldehydes
