title: Chemoselective thioacetalization in water: 3-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)pentane- 2,4-dione as an odorless, efficient, and practical thioacetalization reagent.
abstract: A chemoselective thioacetalization utilizing 3-(1,3-dithian-2-ylidene)pentane-2,4-dione as a novel nonthiolic, odorless 1,3-propanedithiol equivalent catalyzed by p-dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid in water has been developed.
