The utility of acylals as building blocks for selective cross-benzoin synthesis was explored in this study. The synthesis of α-acetoxyketones (O-acyl cross-benzoins) was achieved via selective N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed cross-benzoin reactions using acylals as aldehyde equivalents. Thus, the combination of ortho-substituted phenyl acylals and aromatic/aliphatic aldehydes as coupling substrates using bicyclic triazolium salts as precatalysts and potassium carbonate as a base in THF at reflux temperature selectively yielded O-acyl cross-benzoins.

Tungstosulfonic acid (TSA) has been found to be an efficient solid acid catalyst for the protection of aldehydic carbonyl groups by geminal diacetate (acylal) formation following the nucleophilic addition of acetic anhydride under neat conditions as well as in a solvent. The TSA catalyst is fully characterized by infrared spectroscopy, wide-angle X-ray scattering analysis, and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The deprotection of acylals to corresponding aldehydes has also been investigated under the similar conditions. The catalyst can be reused seven times without a significant loss of activity. In addition, no chromatographic separations are needed to obtain the desired products. This method is a green approach for the chemoselective protection of aldehydes in the presence of ketones.

In the present study, a mild, rapid, and efficient method for the protection of aldehydes with acetic anhydride (AA) in the presence of zinc zirconium phosphate (ZPZn) as a nano catalyst, at room temperature is reported. Selective conversion of aldehydes was observed in the presence of ketones. Under these conditions, different aldehydes bearing electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substituents were reacted with AA and the corresponding 1,1-diacetates (acylals) were obtained in high to excellent yields. The steric and electronic properties of the different substrates had a significant influence on the reaction conditions. Also, the deprotection of 1,1-diacetates has been achieved using this catalyst in water. This nanocatalyst was characterized by several physico-chemical techniques. It was recovered easily from the reaction mixture, regenerated and reused at least 7 times without significant loss in catalytic activity. This protocol has the advantages of easy availability, stability, reusability of the eco-friendliness, chemoselectivity, simple experimental and work-up procedure, solvent-free conditions and usage of only a stoichiometric amount of AA.
