Chemoselective (Trans)thioacetalization of Carbonyl Compounds with a Reusable Lewis Acid-Surfactant-Combined Copper Bis(dodecyl sulfate) Catalyst in Water
Chemoselective (Trans)thioacetalization of Carbonyl Compounds with a Reusable Lewis Acid-Surfactant-Combined Copper Bis(dodecyl sulfate) Catalyst in Water
A Lewis acid-surfactant-combined copper bis(dodecyl sulfate) [Cu(DS)2] catalyst served as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the thioacetalization and transthioacetalization of carbonyl compounds and O,O-acetals in water at room temperature. Some of the major advantages of this procedure are high chemoselectivity, ease of operation and purification without any organic solvent, and high yields.
