| An environmentally-friendly method for the deprotection of acetals and ketals catalyzed by bismuth iodide in water has been developed. Water is a very environmentally-friendly solvent due to its non-toxicity, easy availability and non-flammable nature. Bismuth compounds are attractive as catalysts in organic synthesis because of their remarkably low toxicity and ease of handling. Herein, we report the bismuth iodide catalyzed deprotection of a variety of acetals and ketals in water. The results of this study will be presented.
