TaCl5 adsorbed on silicagel has been utilized for the first time as Le
wis acid catalyst for protection of aldehydes and alcohols as thioceta
ls and THP ethers respectively. Similarly TaCl5 has been exploited as
an useful Lewis acid for chemoselective trimerisation and/or aldolisat
ion of aldehydes. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
