Abstract

The transformation of acetonides into acetates is frequently required in synthetic chemistry. An efficient procedure for direct conversion of acetonides into acetates in the presence of HClO4-SiO2 under mild conditions was developed. The acetonides of primary hydroxy groups are directly converted to diacetates, and the anomeric acetonides of furanosides are stereoselectively transformed into the corresponding acetyl β-d-furanosides with a 2-acetoxyisopropyl group.
