Highly Efficient and Fast Solid State Deprotection of 13-Dithianes and 13-Dithiolanes using Mercury(II) Nitrate Trihydrate

摘要

A variety of 1,3-dithianes and 1,3-dithiolanes are deprotected in the solid state to the corresponding parent carbonyl compounds in excellent yields using mercury(II) nitrate trihydrate in a mild, efficient and fast method.
