Thioketals without enolizable hydrogens adjacent to a sulfur atom are converted easily to the corresponding ketones in high yields under similar reaction conditions. However, thioketals with enolizable methyl and methylene groups undergo ring-expansion reactions to afford 1,4-dithiepins and 1,4-dithiins in dry CH(2)Cl(2) at room temperature in good yields.
