Abstract
The use of bismuth nitrate enables a chemoselective deprotection of acetals derived from ketones and conjugated aldehydes. The advantages of this method are the ease of work up, the observed selectivity and the use of a relatively nontoxic reagent that is easy to handle and is inexpensive.
