Abstract

Acylals were prepared by direct condensation of aldehydes with acetic anhydride using nano-ordered MCM-41-SO3H as a heterogeneous catalyst under solvent-free conditions at room temperature in a very short reaction time and excellent yields. The catalyst is recyclable, non-toxic, neither air nor moisture sensitive, and easy to handle. High chemoselectivity toward aldehydes in the presence of ketones is another advantage of the ...
