PHOTOCHEMICAL OXIDATIVE DEPROTECTION OF 1,3-DITHIANES TO CARBONYL COMPOUNDS WITH HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (HP)

Abstract

Regeneration of carbonyl compounds from their 1,3-dithianes were achieved using photochemical oxidation with (HP 30%) in relatively high yields. Thus, an efficient, economic and simple photochemical method for this deprotection has been demonstrated.
