…ketones to form thioacetals and thioketals, respectively. Thioacetals and thioketals are more stable than the corresponding oxygen compounds and so are especially useful as protecting groups (temporarily suppressing the reactivity of the carbonyl group) as well as reagents in organic synthesis. Thiols are efficient radical scavengers (a radical X^∙ abstracts…
