Abstract

AbstractHerein, we present a rapid and efficient method for synthesizing cyclic acetals and ketals utilizing a rotary evaporator. Unlike the conventional Dean–Stark dehydration process, which typically demands extended reaction times and copious amounts of organic solvents, our approach affords the synthesis of cyclic acetals and ketals with varying ring sizes in 30 min while using minimal quantities of dimethyl sulfoxide as the solvent. This innovative protocol features high yields, fast reactions, easy operation, and broad substrate applicability.
