Smooth and quantitative deprotection of a wide range of acetals and ketals [Eq. (a); R, R(1)=alkyl, aryl, H] under neutral to mildly basic conditions was achieved with catalytic quantities of cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN). The reaction conditions are compatible with a variety of sensitive functional groups, and aldehydes can be liberated from acetals without being oxidized to the corresponding carboxylic

Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) is a powerful, though mild, reagent for the efficient and selective removal of a range of ketals and acetals. This novel deprotection method requires only catalytic amounts of CAN and tolerates a variety of functional and protecting groups. Mechanistic insights suggest that the Ce(IV) salts act as unique Lewis acids and not as redox active species.

A simple and mild procedure for the efficientdeprotection of cyclic acetals and ketals, using cerium ammonium nitrate (CAN) is reported. The method tolerates a range of functional and protecting groups and is suitable for acid-labile substrates.

Functionalised medium-ring systems of various sizes can be efficiently prepared by a novel approach that embodies a radical-induced fragmentation of bicyclic P-hydroxy ketones, followed by a second radical-coupling reaction. The unexpected reactivity of ot-keto radicals is also discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
