ChemInform Abstract
The aldehyde acylals (III) (6 examples) and (VI) (10 examples) are synthesized in order to study their reactivity towards Grignard and alkyl-Li reagents. Generally, Grignard reagents afford better yields of esters than Li reagents. The acylals (III) are inapplicable as substrates for synthetic purposes and lead to complex reaction mixtures with both reagents.
