Abstract

Abstract Aldehydes and ketones are readily protected in the presence of trialkyl orthoformate and a catalytic amount of cerium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate under mild conditions to give the corresponding acetals in good to excellent yields. Due to the mild reaction conditions, this method is compatible with acid-sensitive substrates.
