Abstract:
Mixtures of isomers are available from the reaction of benzene hexathiol with three equivalents of p-tolualdehyde and kinetic traps avoided under the reported catalytic conditions, establishing tris(thioacetals) as potential building blocks for covalently self-assembled complex structures.
