M. Hirano et al., A CONVENIENT OXIDATIVE DETHIOACETALIZATION OF 1,3-DITHIOLANES AND 1,3-DITHIANES WITH IRON(III) NITRATE AND MONTMORILLONITE K10 IN HEXANE, Synthesis, (8), 1997, pp. 858
The efficient and experimentally simple oxidative cleavage of cyclic t
hioacetals to regenerate the carbonyl compounds using a solid-solution
biphasic system is described.
