A convenient synthesis of monoacetals of α-diones, i.e. α-keto acetals, was developed by silver ion induced alcoholysis of regiospecifically formed α-bromo-α-chloro ketones. Similarly, the corresponding α,α-dialkoxy ketimines were synthesized from silver ion induced alcoholysis of α-bromo-α-chloro ketimines. Both methods provide an easy access to protected forms of α-diones, useful as building blocks in organic chemistry.
