A Practical and Efficient Procedure for Preparation of Diacetals from 2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol with Aldehydes and Ketones Catalysed by Anhydrous Ferrous Sulfate †
Synthesis of diacetals in excellent yields from aldehydes and ketones with 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propane-1,3-diol is carried out in refluxing benzene or toluene with anhydrous ferrous sulfate as catalyst.
