Abstract

Abstract 2-Alkyl-or 2, 2-dialkyl-1, 3-oxathiolanes can be effectively prepared from aldehydes or ketones and 2-mercaptoethanol, with triisopropylsilyl triflate as a catalyst. The reaction is over within minutes and, despite the fact that water is nor removed during the reaction, the yields of products are high.
