Abstract
Benzylidene acetals of 1,2- and 1,3-glycols are easily cleft by diisobutylaluminum hydride in a toluene solution at 0 °C–room temperature to give the corresponding monobenzyl ethers of the glycols. In general the reaction proceeds excellently in regioselective manner depending on the stereochemical environment.Keywords
