Multistep reactions are often required for the transformation of alcohols to α-chloroacetals via the unstable intermediates aldehydes or α-halo aldehydes. Herein, we report a simplified procedure for practical synthesis of α-chloroacetals using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxyl as a catalyst and trichloroisocyanuric acid both as an oxidant and a chlorination reagent. The reaction is one-pot, solvent-free and high-yielding. In addition, the α-chloroacetals have been transformed to enol ethers ...[more]
