Highly selective methodology for the direct conversion of aromatic aldehydes to glycol monoesters.
Al(2)O(3)/MeSO(3)H (AMA) was found to be an extremely efficient reagent for the conversion of aromatic aldehydes and diols to glycol monoesters. The remarkable selectivity achieved with this reagent is an attractive feature of the present method.
