=Literature Searches= 1. List all reports of the synthesis of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde acetals and hemiacetals.**[JC Bradley]** A Reaxys search for the synthesis of 4-chlorobenzaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal gives 9 reactions - most involve reacting ethylene glycol with the aldehyde (even in water) but all require some type of catalyst. 2. Do a substructure search of benzaldehye methanol hemiacetals in reaxys **[Cuepil Choi]** - 4 hits 3. Do an exact search of benzaldehyde reacting with ethylene glycol to produce benzaldehyde ethylene glycol acetal **[Cuepil Choi]** - 2 hits, none without catalysts 4. Searched for journals citing Horikawa03 because of their claim of forming acetals without a catalyst on Web of Science. - 17 results, none relevant according to title 5. Searched for reaction between acetic anhydride and cyclohexanol on reaxys - approximately 100 results, three reactions were found without a catalyst, only one of these reactions provided interesting and applicable results **(Kayla Gogarty)** 6. Searched for reaction between acetic anhydride and heptylamine on reaxys -only one result found **(Kayla Gogarty)** 7. Searched for reaction between acetic anhydride and methanol on reaxys -Three results found and only one result did not use a catalyst **(Kayla Gogarty)**
