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.
