A comparative study on the catalytic activity of conducting polyaniline (PANI), polypyrrole (PPY), and poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) salts as solid acid catalysts for the synthesis of 1,1-diacetates (acylals) under solvent-free conditions has been presented. Use of the polypyrrole and poly-(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) salts as solid acid catalysts is reported for the first time. Preparation, recovery, and reusability of the catalysts were found to be good. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
