Application of poly(Vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium tribromide) resin as an efficient polymeric catalyst in the acetalization and diacetylation of benzaldehydes

The applications of a new supported tribromide reagent (poly(vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium tribromide) resin) were reported. This supported tribromide resin was used as a catalyst in the acetalization and diacetylation of benzaldehydes under mild conditions with high efficiency. The effects of solvents, and amount of the supported tribromide resin on the reactions were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, most of acetal and 1,1-diacetates of benzaldehydes were selectively obtained in excellent yields.

Green procedures for the chemoselective synthesis of acylals and their cleavage promoted by recoverable sulfonic acid based nanoporous carbon (CMK-5-SO3H)

A selective synthesis of gem-diacetates from the reaction of aldehydes and acetic anhydride in the presence of recyclable nanoporous solid sulfonic acid (CMK-5-SO3H) under solvent-free reaction conditions is reported. The catalyst was also found to be highly active for deprotection of resulting acylals in water. [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiOTf) as a recyclable catalyst for highly efficient acetylation of alcohols and diacetylation of aldehydes under mild and neutral reaction conditions

A variety of alcohols and aldehydes were reacted with acetic anhydride at room temperature in the presence of a catalytic amount of lithium triflate (LiOTf) to produce the corresponding esters and 1,1-diacetates, respectively, in good to excellent yields under essentially neutral reaction conditions. Sensitive functional groups such as PhCO2-, OMe, and OTBDMS ethers survived intact under the described reaction conditions.
