- Method for the selective formation of dimethyl acetals in the presence of hydroxylamine
-
An inexpensive and mild method for the formation of dimethyl acetals from the corresponding aldehydes is achieved using hydroxylamine and methanol under neutral conditions at room temperature. Notably, the reaction is selective for aldehydes in the presence of ketones, rendering this an example of a chemoselective acetalization. For saturated, sterically accessible aldehydes, catalytic amounts of hydroxylamine may be employed to attain the corresponding dimethyl acetal as the sole product in good to excellent yield. Unsaturated and hindered aldehydes required stoichiometric amounts of hydroxylamine but provided dimethyl acetals as the major product in typically excellent yield. In some cases, the corresponding oxime was also observed but may be separated from the acetal by flash column chromatography or distillation. The involvement of an intermediate oxime compound is postulated. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

- The use of anhydrous CeCl3 as a recyclable and selective catalyst for the acetalization of aldehydes and ketones
-
An efficient, clean, chemoselective and solvent-free method for the synthesis of ketone and aldehyde dimethyl acetals was developed using trimethyl orthoformate and commercially available anhydrous CeCl3 as a recyclable catalyst. The method is general and affords the protected carbonyl compounds in good yields and under mild conditions, including aryl and alkyl ketones and activated aldehydes. The catalyst could be utilised directly for 3 cycles, without significant loss of activity.

- A facile procedure for acetalization of aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by cerium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate
-
Aldehydes and ketones are readily protected in the presence of trialkyl orthoformate and a catalytic amount of cerium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate under mild conditions to give the corresponding acetals in good to excellent yields. Due to the mild reaction conditions, this method is compatible with acid-sensitive substrates. Copyright

- An efficient and versatile procedure for the synthesis of acetals from aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by lithium tetrafluoroborate
-
Acetals are obtained in good to excellent yields by treatment of aldehydes and ketones with trialkyl orthoformate and the corresponding alcohol in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium tetrafluoroborate. Due to the mild reaction conditions, this method is compatible with acid-sensitive substrates.
