Popis: Although acetals, ketals and orthoesters are commonly used as protective groups against organometallic reagents, Grignard reagents derived from halo-acetals, ketals, or orthoesters cyclize intramolecularly under MgBr2 promoted conditions, giving rise to the corresponding cycloalkanol and cycloalkanone derivatives. Our results also suggest a Lewis acid catalyzed push-pull mechanism operating for the cyclization.
