Abstract

AbstractHerein it is described that an indium(III) compound effectively catalyzes a reductive insertion into either diaryl or dialkyl disulfides with orthoesters to produce a variety of dithioacetal derivatives. This method could also be adapted to the diselenoacetalization of diselenides. During a series of reductive insertions using this method, it is noteworthy that an orthoester functions as a masked methylene moiety.
