Aldehydes can be converted to acylals by treatment with acetic anhydride in the presence of sulfated zirconia in excellent yield at 0°C. Ketones and aliphatic aldehydes are found to be unaffected under the reaction conditions. The deprotection of the resulting acylals is achieved using the same catalyst at 60°C. The catalyst can be reused in two cycles without losing its activity. ©2005 Sociedade Brasileira de Química.
