โฆ Synopsis
Carbonyls were efficiently converted to the corresponding dimethyl acetals at room temperature using trimethyl orthoformate and 1 mol% of decaborane under a nitrogen atmosphere. In turn, acetals were deprotected to the corresponding carbonyls using 1 mol% of decaborane in aqueous THF chemoselectively.

A novel type of photodeprotection reaction of simple aromatic acetals and ketals is described. The deprotection is highly efficient under optimized conditions. The aromatic ring confers the photoreactivity to the compounds. The efficiency of the process depends on the structure of the acetal moiety.
