The use of TiCl4, as a catalyst for the acetalisation, at room temperature, of carbonyl compounds is reported. Cyclic ketones and cyclic 1,4-diketones easily afford dimethyl acetals, but cyclic 1,3-diketones give beta -keto enol ethers. Additionally, aryl ketones and acyclic ketones failed to react. beta -keto aldehydes can be monoprotected either as beta -keto enol ethers or beta -keto dimethyl acetals depending on the reaction time and catalyst amount. Some mechanistic features are accounted for. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
