Abstract

Acyclic or cyclic O,O-acetals and O,S-acetals underwent reductive cleavage to give primary alcohols efficiently on treatment with Zn-CoCl2.6H2O-bimetal redox system in dry tetrahydrofuran at ambient temperature to give good to excellent yields.

Keywords: Alcohols, acetals, bimetal redox system, deprotection, hydroxy ether, reductive cleavage
