Liu, Bin-bin published the artcileOdorless thioacetalization reaction of acetals, Computed Properties of 177-10-6, the publication is Liaoning Huagong (2014), 43(9), 1112-1113, database is CAplus.
Using 2-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)-3-oxobutanoic acid as odorless thiol equivalent, an efficient and odorless transthioacetalization of acetals has been developed in the presence of MeCOCl in MeOH at room temperature This transthioacetalization is characterized by mild reaction conditions, simple procedure and good yield. It is noteworthy that odor of thiols can not be perceived during the reaction.
