Abstract

A new and chemoselective method for the cleavage of alkyl and cyclic acetals and ketals at room temperature in wet nitromethane by using catalytic cerium(III) trifluoromethane sulfonate is presented. The high yields, the observed selectivity, the very gentle reaction conditions, and the almost neutral pH make this procedure particularly attractive for multistep synthesis.
