ABSTRACT
Dithioacetalization reactions of aldehydes with thiols/thiophenols have been successfully achieved at room temperature by employing the green, bio-based ethyl lactate as the reaction medium. By means of this sustainable approach, a class of dithioacetals has been acquired with high diversity and efficiency.
