Abstract

Abstract Image

Acetals and ketals are readily deprotected under neutral conditions in the presence of acetone and catalytic amounts of indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (<0.8 mol %) at room temperature or mild microwave heating conditions to give the corresponding aldehydes and ketones in good to excellent yields.

      It has been widely accepted that both the protection of carbonyls and the deprotection of acetals and ketals involve the participation of a water molecule: formation of acetals and ketals is a dehydration process, whereas the deprotection is often ...
