title: Rhodium-catalyzed reaction of thiols with polychloroalkanes in the presence of triethylamine.
abstract: [reaction: see text] RhCl(PPh(3))(3) catalyzes a reaction of thiols with polychloroalkanes in the presence of triethylamine. This reaction serves as a convenient new method to produce formaldehyde dithioacetals, ethylenedithioethers, thioformates, and dithiocarbonic esters under mild conditions.
