Procedimiento
6,8-bisacetylmercaptooctanoic (henceforth referred to as bis-acetyl lipoic acid) was prepared from commercially available—lipoic acid using a three step procedure. These steps were as follows: Lipoic acid was first reduced to 6,8-bismercaptooctanoic acid which was then acetylated to produce 6,8-bisacetylmercaptooctanoic acetic anhydride. This 6,8-bisacetylmercaptooctanoic acetic anhydride was then selectively hydrolyzed to produce the 6,8-bisacetylmercaptooctanoic acid.
