摘要:
The 1,3-dioxolanation of carbonyl compounds with 2,3-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-trimethylsilylpropane (BTTP) in the presence of catalytic amounts of trimethylsilyl trifluoromethanesulfonate (TMSOTf) has been investigated. BTTP readily converted unhindered ketones and aldehydes to their corresponding 4-trimethylsilylmethyl-19-dioxolanes, but failed for more hindered substrates. The 4-trimethylsilylmethyl-1,3-dioxolane can be selectively cleaved to regenerate the carbonyl compound in the presence of a 13-dioxolane using either LiBF4 or HF in acetonitrile.
