Abstract

A mild and efficient method has been developed for the chemoselective preparation of acylals from aldehydes in the presence of catalytic amounts (0.01-1.0 mol%) of InBr₃ under solvent-free conditions in very good to excellent yields.

Key words

acylals - aldehydes - chemoselective - indium tribromide - solvent-free conditions
