• For examples of use in acetal (1,3-dioxolane) formation, catalyzed by tosic acid with azeotropic water removal, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 6, 567 (1988); 7, 241, 271 (1990). A mild dehydrating agent, e.g. triethyl orthoformate may be used as an alternative: J. Org. Chem., 48, 2122 (1983). PPTS (Pyridinium p-toluenesulfonate, A15708) has been recommended as a catalyst for the formation and cleavage of ethylene acetals, being less likely to cause acid-catalyzed rearrangements than tosic acid itself: Synthesis, 724 (1979). For acetalization of ɑ?-enals, tartaric acid in the presence of anhydrous MgSO₄ gives good results: J. Org. Chem., 60, 2931 (1995). Review of the preparation of acetals: Synthesis, 501 (1981). See also 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, L00482.

• Polyethylene glycols can act as effective solvents and low-cost phase-transfer catalysts by complexing with cations (see Appendix 2). Examples of reactions promoted by these species:
