Cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) is a powerful, though mild, reagent for the efficient and selective removal of a range of ketals and acetals. This novel deprotection method requires only catalytic amounts of CAN and tolerates a variety of functional and protecting groups. Mechanistic insights suggest that the Ce(IV) salts act as unique Lewis acids and not as redox active species.
Upon treatment with tBuOK/H 2 O, a variety of ω-halo-β-keto-ketals undergo smooth cyclisation, affording in excellent yields mono-protected [n,m] spiro bicyclic diketones. This transformation is highly stereoselective producing, in all cases, the diastereoisomerically pure spiro derivatives.
