Popis: | In the course of our work on umpolung of α,β-ethylenic ketones and aldehydes1, the use of thioacetalised γ-ketophosphonium salts and ylids led us to investigate the hydrolysis of 1,3-dithianes. Among the known methods of removal of thioacetal protecting groups2, the one using cerium (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) has the advantages of a fast reaction with easy work-up and good to very good yields3. This method has been widely applied for preparative purposes using four equivalents of the cerium salt. However it does not seem that a theoretical explanation has been brought for the use of such a quantity of CAN. The only one proposed4 deals with a mechanism similar to the one involving mercury (II) salts, where indeed, four equivalents of metallic salt are not necessary5. |
