Highly Shape‐Selective, Biomimetic, and Efficient Deprotection of Carbonyl Compounds Masked as Ethylene Acetals or Dioxolanes Produced from 1,2‐Ethanediol

Abstract A simple, mild, efficient, and organic solvent‐free biochemical approach for the deprotection of carbonyl compounds protected as 1,3‐dioxolanes through the use of cyclodextrins as catalysts has been developed. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003)
