Abstract

ABSTRACT Bi(III) salts such as BiCl3, Bi(TFA)3 and Bi(OTf)3 were found to be efficient catalysts for the transformation of trimethylsilyl (TMS) and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) ethers to their corresponding acetates and formates with acetic acid and ethyl formate. Selective acetylation and formylation of TMS and THP ethers of alcohols in the presence of phenolic TMS and THP ethers make this method a useful and practical procedure in organic synthesis.
