Aromatic acetals over γ-alumina undergo rearrangement to give the corresponding esters (b) and ethers (c) in good yield.The product distribution varied unusually over the range of reaction temperatures.The effect of substituents has also been felt much in the study.Probable mechanisms have been suggested for the reaction.The catalyst has been characterized by various studies and the specific poisoning of the catalyst has been done with NH3, CO2 and H2S.
