An Efficient and Practical Procedure for Synthesis of 1,1‐Diacetates from Aldehydes Catalyzed by Zirconium Sulfate Tetrahydrate–Silica Gel

Abstract

Abstract A facile and efficient procedure for synthesis of 1,1‐diacetates from aldehydes with acetic anhydride was described using zirconium sulfate tetrahydrate–silica gel as catalyst in excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.
