Abstract

Efficient conversion of acetals, ketals, and diacetates to carbonyl compounds is described using Caro's acid supported on silica gel. The deacetalization reactions are carried out in acetonitrile at room temperature. Reaction of diacetates is performed in refluxing dichloromethane, and their parent carbonyl compounds are obtained in good-to-excellent yields.
