Abstract

Abstract: Symmetrical cyclic and acyclic acetals by oxidation with Oxone® gave the corresponding esters in good yield. Treatment of tetrahydropyranyl derivatives of alcohols with the same reagent resulted in oxidative regeneration of the alcohols. Key words: Oxone®, acetal oxidation, tetrahydropyranyl ether cleavage, glycol monoester formation
