Abstract

The acyclic and cyclic β -hydroxydithioacetals 3a-m and 4a-b obtained by sodium borohydride reduction (or Grignard addition) of the corresponding β -oxodithioacetals 2a-m are shown to undergo facile one pot thermal dehydration and dethioacetalization in the presence of dimethyl sulphoxide to afford the corresponding ene- and polyene aldehydes 5a-m and 6a-b in good yields. The probable mechanism of dethioacetalization with dimethyl sulphoxide has also been discussed.
