Abstract
Abstract The substitution of the acetoxy groups of dialkoxymethylacetates by organometallic reagents has been examined in a search for new methods of preparing functional acetals. The efficiency of the substitution of the acetoxy group is highly dependent on the nature of the organometallic reagents: soft nucleophiles with strong electrophilic assistance by the counterion are the best reagents. Allyl-, propargyl-, homoallyl-, homopropargyl- and α-stannylacetals have been made by this route, in which dialkoxymethylacetates often function as useful substitutes for dialkylphenylorthoformates.
