Removal of thioacetal protecting groups by benzeneseleninic anhydride

Abstract
A number of thioacetals were deprotected with benzeneseleninic anhydride in good yield. The reaction worked particularly well for hindered spiro-1,3-ditholans of 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone and fenchone, and in examples where other literature methods had failed.
