Melamine trisulfonic acid: A new, efficient and reusable catalyst for the protection of alcohols, phenols, aldehydes and amines
Iranian journal of catalysis Vol. 1, No. 1, 11–17
Tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols, acetylation of aldehydes and N-Boc protection of amines are efficiently catalyzed by melamine trisulfonic acid (MTSA). All reactions were performed at room temperature in good to high yields.
