General description

The abstraction of α-hydrogen atoms from benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal by active bromine at 80°C has been investigated.

Benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal is derived from the condensation reaction between benzaldehyde and methanol. It is used as a protecting group.

Application

Benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal used as an effective reagent for the construction of selenocarbonyl compounds.

Treatment of phenyl alpha-maltoside with an excess of alpha, alpha-dimethoxytoluene in the presence of (+)-10-camphorsulfonic acid, followed by partial hydrolysis to remove unstable acyclic acetal substituents, gave phenyl 3,2':4',6'-di-O-benzylidene-alpha-maltoside. Thus, one of the benzylidene groups formed an eight-membered cyclic acetal
