Indium(III) chloride efficiently catalyzes the protection of a variety of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding 1,3‐dioxolanes and dialkyl acetals in refluxing cyclohexane. On the other hand, deprotection of acetals is also achieved in refluxing aqueous methanol under the catalysis of indium(III) chloride.
