Abstract
Thiocrown ethers containing thioacetal units are readily prepared by r eaction of the cesium salts of long chain dithiols with methylene dibr omide. Preparation of the trimethylsilyl derivatives followed by conde nsation with aldehydes under basic conditions (Peterson reaction) lead s to the expected macrocycles with exocyclic double bonds at the thioa cetal carbon atom.
