Abstract

Abstract: Various acetals are conveniently converted into alcohols using a one pot procedure that combines hydrolysis of an acetal by triflouromethanesulfonic acid in tetrahydrofuran and tert-butylamine borane reduction of the resulting aldehyde. Key words: acetals, alcohols, one pot, triflouromethanesulfonic acid, tert-butylaminoborane
