Highly Efficient Acetalization of Carbonyl Compounds Catalyzed by Aniline-Aldehyde Resin Salts
A mild procedures for the syntheses of ethylene acetals and dimethyl acetals from the corresponding aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by 1 mol % of aniline aldehyde resin salts are described. This method is also useful for the synthesis of dimethyl acetals of diaryl ketones.
