Abstract
The acetalisation of aldehydes with diols to corresponding 1, 3-dioxolanes has been accomplished using ionic liquids as catalyst and reaction media. In the reaction process the removal of water produced and other catalysts were not necessary. High conversion and good selectivity were obtained when using HMImBF4, which could be easily recycled and reused.
