title: GaCl3-catalyzed insertion of isocyanides into a C-O bond in cyclic ketals and acetals.
abstract: The reaction of cyclic ketals or acetals with 2,6-dibromophenylisocyanide in the presence of a catalytic amount of GaCl(3) results in the insertion of isocyanide into the carbon-oxygen bond of cyclic ketals and acetals. [reaction: see text]
