2,4,4,6-Tetrabromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone (TABCO) as a Versatile, Efficient, and Chemoselective Catalyst for the Acetalization and Transacetalization of Carbonyl Compounds, the Preparation of Acetonides from Epoxides and Acylals (1,1-Diacetates) from A

摘要

The efficient and chemoselective preparation of acetals and ketals from carbonyl compounds, transacetalization reactions, the conversion of epoxides to acetonides, and the preparation of acylals from aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amounts of 2,4,4,6-tetrabromo-2,5-cyclohexadienone (TABCO) are described.
