Facile Synthesis of 1,1-Diacetates from Aldehydes Using Montmorillonite K-10 Clay under Microwave Irradiation

Abstract

Selective and easy synthesis of acylals in dry media using montmorillonite K-10 clay in an Erlenmeyer flask under microwave activation in remarkably reduced reaction time is described.
