Magnesium and zinc-catalyzed thioketalization

TL;DR: In this paper, the reaction of a variety of ketones with ethane-1,2-dithiol to form thioketals proceeds very efficiently and under mild conditions using magnesium or zinc triflates as catalyst.
Journal ArticleDOI

Preferential formation of 8-epi-prostaglandin f2α via the corresponding endoperoxide by a biomimetic cyclization

TL;DR: In this paper, the 1,2-dioxolane 14a and 14b in the presence of oxygen leads preferentially to endoperoxidee 17 (both epimers at C*) which upon reduction affords 8- epi -prostaglandin F2α and the C(15)-epimer, a result in accord with a previous mechanistic proposal.
