Unusual N-Acyl-N,O-acetals are present in a number of bioactive natural products and can act as a synthetic precursor to unstable reactive N-acylimines. Various N-acyl-N,O-acetals can be prepared under mild conditions mediated by titanium ethoxide (Ti(OEt)4). The method also offers a new strategy to make other O-alkyl-N,O-acetals.

An I2-catalyzed oxidative cross-coupling of α-amino ketones with a wide range of alcohols provides α-carbonyl N,O-acetals with high functional group tolerance. Using a combination of air and dimethyl sulfoxide as oxidants, the protocol allows an efficient late-stage modification of biorelevant structures. Moreover, the use of other nucleophiles enables additional functionalization of α-amino ketones.
