Abstract

The protection of carbonyl functions as acetals and their subsequent deprotection is an important strategy in multi-stage synthesis. 1 The use of acetals as protecting groups has been employed widely and typically utilizes acid catalysts such as para-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA) or boron trifluoride diethyl etherate in the presence of a dehydrating agent such as trimethyl orthoformate. 2 Numerous attempts to improve the atom efficiency of this process have ...
