BIS(DIISOBUTYLALUMINUM) 1,2-ETHANEDITHIOLATE: A REAGENT IN THE CONVERSION OF OXYACETALS TO THIOACETALS

Abstract
Bis(diisobutylaluminum) 1,2-ethanedithiolate (9) made from diisobutylaluminum hydride and ethanedithiol in benzene is useful to convert oxyacetals into thioacetals, however not effective to ketones.
