title: Catalytic asymmetric sulfenylation to structurally diverse dithioketals.
abstract: We report the first example of the highly enantioselective synthesis of structurally diverse chiral dithioketals via asymmetric sulfenylation of various types of S-based nucleophiles, catalyzed by a cheap cinchona alkaloid derivative, dihydroquinine.
