Abstract
1,1-Diacyloxy compounds can be accessed from a variety of starting materials including aldehydes, ketones, and O/O, O/Hal, and Hal/Hal acetals under a variety of reaction conditions. This product class encompasses Meldrum’s acid, several natural products, and acyloxy ester prodrugs; in addition, acyl acetals are useful protecting groups for aldehydes and can be cleaved orthogonally to alkyl acetals.
