Abstract
Treatment of acetals with bismuth(III) chloride in methanol provides a simp le, convenient and chemoselective process for deprotection, and the parent aldehyde or ketone was obtained in high yield. The acetals have been cleave d selectively in the presence of silyl, benzyl and tetrahydropyranyl ethers .
