  "term": "Thioacetals",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Organic compounds in which the oxygen atoms of an acetal are replaced by sulfur atoms. They are formed by the reaction of an aldehyde or ketone with two thiols or a dithiol. Thioacetals are often used as protecting groups for carbonyl compounds in organic synthesis due to their stability under a range of reaction conditions.",
