We report here a remarkably simple molecular iodine-catalyzed protection method for various carbonyl compounds as ketals in a general reaction. The iodine-catalyzed reaction of mandelic acid and lactic acid with several aldehydes has furnished a highly diastereoselective synthesis of cis and trans dioxolanones.

Acetals are obtained in good yields by treatment of aldehydes and ketones with trialkyl orthoformate and the corresponding alcohol in the presence of 0.1 mol % Bi(OTf)3·4H2O. A simple procedure for the formation of acetals of diaryl ketones has also been developed. The conversion of carbonyl compounds to the corresponding 1,3-dioxolane using ethylene glycol is also catalyzed by Bi(OTf)3· 4H2O (1 mol %). Two methods, both of which avoid the use of benzene, have been developed.
Radicals through Photoinduced Electron Transfer. Addition to Olefin and Addition to Olefin-Aromatic Substitution Reactions

The radical cations of 2,2-dialkyl- and 2-alkyl-2-aryl-1,3-dioxolanes, when generated in solution by photoinduced electron transfer to 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarbonitrile (TCB), fragment to yield alkyl radicals.These are trapped by electron-withdrawing substituted alkenes (acrylonitrile, methyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ketone, as well as dimethyl maleate and fumarate).The radicals thus formed are either reduced by the TCB radical anion or add to it.In the first process (observed only with the diesters) the end result is reductive alkylation of the olefin, while the latter process results in an addition to the olefin-aromatic substitution reaction.The selectivity of the process is explained on the basis of steric hindrance, since the radicals react when still in the cage with the aromatic radical anion.
