Solid-state deprotection of dithioacetals using 1-benzyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane periodate

Abstract

Various dithioacetals have been deprotected to the corresponding carbonyl compounds under solvent-free conditions using 1-benzyl-4-aza-1-azoniabicyclo[2.2.2]octane periodate in the presence of aluminium chloride.
