Procedure
To 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (1.0 g, 6.02 mmol) in 1,3-propanediol (1.75 mL, 24.2 mmol, 4 eq.) were added (MeO)3CH (0.75 mL, 6.86 mmol, 1.1 eq.) andBu4N.Br3 (26 mg, 0.05 mmol, 0.01 eq.). After stirring at room temperature for 45 min the reaction was quenched with saturated NaHCO3 (5 mL) and H2O (20 mL). The mixture was then extracted with EtOAc (3 × 10 mL) and the combined organic fractions washed sequentially with 10% NaHCO3 (20 mL), H2O (4 × 20 mL) then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo to give 2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxane (1.35 g, 100%) as a colourless oil suitable for further use.
2-(2,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxane:
1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 1.41-1.45 (m, 1H), 2.21-2.28 (m, 1H), 3.79 (s, 3H), 3.80 (s, 3H), 3.98-4.04 (m, 2H), 4.24-4.27 (m, 2H), 5.85 (s, 1H), 6.81 (d, J = 8.9 Hz, 1H), 6.85 (dd, J = 8.9 and 3.1 Hz, 1H), 7.20 (d, J = 3.1 Hz, 1H).
13C NMR (125 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 25.9, 55.8, 56.4, 67.6, 96.8, 111.9, 112.3, 115.9, 127.7, 150.6, 153.9.
2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-1,3-dioxane:
1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): δ = 1.43-1.46 (m, 1H), 2.19-2.27 (m, 1H), 3.87 (s, 3H), 3.91 (s, 3H), 3.96-4.01 (m, 2H), 4.25-4.28 (m, 2H), 5.46 (s, 1H), 6.85 (d, J = 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.01 (dd, J = 8.0 and 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.05 (d, J = 2.0 Hz, 1H).

Acyclic
and cyclic acetals of various carbonyl compounds were obtained in
excellent yields under a mild reaction condition in the presence of
trialkyl orthoformate and a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium
tribromide (TBATB) in absolute alcohol. Chemoselective acetalization of
an aldehyde in the presence of ketone, unsymmetrical acetal formation,
shorter reaction times, mild reaction conditions, the stability of
acid-sensitive protecting groups, high efficiencies, facile isolation of
the desired products, and the catalytic nature of the reagent make the
present methodology a practical alternative.
