45. Because brominations of acetal-protected benzaldehydes had not been described in the literature, we prepared various dioxane- or dioxolane-protected methoxymethoxy- and anisaldehydes and investigated their bromination: most of the acetales were resistant to hydrolysis during the brominations with NBS in chlorinated or polar aprotic solvents, and the sensitivity of dioxane 32 seems to be a special case. However, this new method may be valuable for other brominations of acid-sensitive substrates, and the AcOH/NaOAc-solvent system proved to be as reliable as traditional solvents or even superior in many NBS experiments, especially for mono-brominations. For a NBS-bromination in acetic acid under ultrasound, see: Paul V., Sudalai A., Daniel T., Srinivasan K.V. Synth. Commun. 25:1995;2401.
