The use of [Pd(H 2 O)2(Ph 2 PCH 2 CH 2 PPh 2 )] (CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 as a catalyst for the acetalisation of a variety of aldehydes and ketones and for trans ‐acetalisation is described. It is also shown that Pt(H 2 O)2(PH 2 PCH 2 CH 2 PPh 2 ) (CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 is at least as effective as the corresponding Pd compound, while much lower reaction rates are observed with [Rh(MeOH) 2 (Ph 2 PCH 2 CH 2 PPh 2 )] [BF 4 ].
