Abstract

A water-stable Brønsted acidic ionic liquid with an alkane sulfonic acid group was synthesized. This ionic liquid catalyzed the thioacetalization reaction smoothly to afford 1,3-dithianes in excellent yield and less time. In this article we describe a mild and chemoselective thioacetalization procedure for the protection of various aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amount of ionic liquid (2 mol%).
