A mild and efficient method has been developed for the preparation of acylals from aldehydes catalyzed by antimony trichloride under solvent-free conditions in very good to excellent yields. The easy availability, low cost, and ease of handling of the catalyst make this procedure especially attractive for large-scale synthesis.

Utilizing bakers{\textquoteright} yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) as a biocatalyst, synthesis of -aminophosphonates in one pot has been accomplished by the three-component reaction of an aldehyde, an amine, and diethyl phosphite in moderate to good yields under solvent-free reaction conditions.

An efficient synthesis of a well known chiral herbicide, (S)-metolachlor has been described using 2methoxymethylaziridine ring formation and reductive ring opening as key steps using commercially available (R)-epichlorohydrin. The present protocol delivers the required enantiomer of metolachlor in overall yield of 50.8\% and high enantiopurity (\>99\%).
