We have synthesized various types of acetals using 3-methyl-3-butenal and 2-alkenyl, furfuryl, benzyl, p-substituted benzyl, and 2-pentynyl alcohols. These acetals have given corresponding aldehydes after an acid catalytic reaction. Trifluoroacetic acid (CF3COOH) was the best catalyst. The best yield attained was 79% when 3-methyl-3-butenal di(trans-2-pentenyl) acetal was used as a substrate. We also demonstrated that this reaction proceeded via a Claisen–Cope rearrangement.
