Abstract

An efficient pinacol rearrangement mediated by trialkyl orthoformate has been developed. The reactions of various types of diols with a catalytic amount of a Lewis acid in the presence of an ortho ester afforded the rearranged product in good yields via a cyclic ortho ester intermediate. This combined system is applicable not only to cyclic and acyclic tri-and tetra-substituted diols but also to the diols having acid-sensitive acetals.
