• and carbohydrates to various carbocyclic scaffolds. This versatility arises from the possibility to chemoselectively cleave or reduce the sulfur-heterocycle to reveal a versatile C2-synthon.

• rapid build-up of target molecules (see Scheme 1a) [7]. Once the important skeletal carbon–carbon bonds have been formed around the thioketal carbon, the sulfur-heterocycle can perform its primary function as a temporary protecting group and be chemoselectively hydrolyzed to afford a carbonyl functional

An alternative mechanism of the formation of alcohol 4a includes the attack of H2O on the sulfur electrophilic center giving intermediate D, which is rearranged into alcohol Z-4a.
