An efficient method has been developed for the chemoselective synthesis of acylals from aldehydes and acetic anhydride in the presence of silica sulfuric acid as a reusable solid acid catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Ketones are found to remain unaffected under the reaction conditions. The deprotection of acylals has also been achieved using SSA in methanol medium. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Potassium phosphate and silica sulfuric acid have been found to be useful and highly efficient catalysts for conjugate addition of thiols to alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones under solvent-free conditions, at room temperature. Silica sulfuric acid (SSA) was found to be suitable for electron-deficient enones while potassium phosphate was found to effect thia-Michael addition with both, electron-deficient as well as electron-rich conjugated ketones.
