Abstract
3-(Diethoxymethyl)alkanals were obtained in moderate yields by the diisobutylaluminium hydride reduction of ethyl 3-(diethcxymethyl)alkanoates, which were simply synthesized in one pot by the copper (II)-catalyzed reaction of ethyl diazoacetate with 1-trimethylsiloxy-1-alkenes, followed by the ring cleavage of the resulting cyclopropanes with concentrated sulfuric acid in the presence of triethyl orthoformate.
