Abstract
Aldehydes or ketones reacted with acetic anhydride in dichloromethane at ambient temperature to produce gem-diacetates in good to excellent yields in the presence of gallium triiodide, which was generated in situ from gallium and iodine. This catalyst was also useful for the deprotection of carbonyl compounds in the presence of water.
