ELEMENTS of the rare earths series and their derivatives have received scarce attention from organic chemists, although their use for synthetic purposes seems to be promising. 1 We now report that the rare earths chlorides are highly efficient catalysts for the acetalization of aldehydes.Acetalization and dioxolan formation are the most efficient and usual methods for the protection of aldehyde and ketone groups. 2 In the presence of an alcohol, these compounds form acetals in an acid-catalysed, equilibrated reaction. Usually the transformation is brought to completion by the presence of 2, Z-dimethoxypropane or trimethyl orth~ formate.~ p 3 Several methods using various catalysts, such as protic acids4 or Lewis acids (FeCl,, NH, N03, BF3, ZnCl,), 5 have been described.
