TMDS–Pd/C: a convenient system for the reduction of acetals to ethers

2011 
Abstract A simple and practical procedure for the reduction of acetals to ethers is described. It is based on the use of a 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS)–Pd/C system in the presence of a Bronsted acid as the co-catalyst. The reaction occurs under mild conditions and ethers are obtained in high yields.
