A New, Mild, and Rapid Transformation of Acylals to Bisulfites in One-Pot Synthesis by Bismuth (III) Nitrate Pentahydrate

Abstract

Direct conversion of acylals to the corresponding bisulfites can be easily performed in the presence of bismuth (III) nitrate pentahydrate in ethanol at room temperature in good yields.
