REFERENCES

  • Used for protection of carbonyl groups as 4,4-dimethyl-1,3-dioxanes, often preferred to the more usual 1,3-dioxolanes due to easier separation and greater stability. For an example, see 2,3-Butanedione, A14217. For protection of carbonyl group of 4-bromo-2-propanone using p-toluenesulfonic acid in the presence of triethyl orthoformate, see: Org. Synth. Coll., 7, 59 (1990).
