- Visible-light-induced acetalization of aldehydes with alcohols
-
In this work, we have achieved a simple and general method for acetalization of aldehydes by means of a photochemical reaction under low-energy visible light irradiation. A broad range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes have been protected under neutral conditions in good to excellent yields using a catalytic amount of Eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Our visible light mediated acetalization strategies are successful for more challenging acid-sensitive aldehydes and sterically hindered aldehydes. Notably, this protocol is chemoselective to aldehydes, while ketones remain intact.

- Cyclopentyl methyl ether-NH4X: A novel solvent/catalyst system for low impact acetalization reactions
-
Cyclopentyl methyl ether, a low impact ether forming a positive azeotrope with water, was successfully employed as a solvent in the synthesis of 1,3-dioxanes and 1,3-dioxolanes carried out under Dean-Stark conditions by the acetalization of aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes or ketones, employing ammonium salts as environmentally friendly acidic catalysts.
