Abstract

A friendly method for the protection of diols and carbonyls catalysed by hexahydrated iron (III) chloride has been developed. This method, which consists of the transformation of diols and carbonyls to cyclic acetals, functions in mild conditions and it is efficient for a wide range of diols.
