title: Direct conversion of acetals to esters with high regioselectivity via O,P-acetals.
abstract: A new direct conversion of O,O-acetals to esters via O,P-acetal intermediates was developed. The regioselective cleavage of unsymmetrical cyclic acetals occurred to give the more crowded esters as single isomers.
