Cheap and readily available iodotrichlorosilane (SiCl4/NaI) readily regenerates aldehydes and ketones from cyclic and acyclic acetals and ketals, in 20-60 min at ambient temperature.The reaction is highly chemoselective as phenolic ethers and esters are not cleaved.The pathway for the process is unlike any previously proposed.
