Article abstract of DOI:10.1246/cl.1985.1255

In the presence of a catalytic amount of trityl perchlorate, acetal-type peroxides are successfully prepared from dimethyl acetals and t-butyl trimethylsilyl peroxide in good yields.The peroxides thus obtained are converted to the corresponding methyl esters also in good yields.
