Can anyone link any literature regarding the synthesis and reactivity of "Acylals" and "Ketylals" (geminal diesters/dicarboxylates)? They seem like
they would be useful reagents but I can find very little information on acylals (aldehyde derivatives) and no information on "ketylals" (ketone
derivatives).

Bump because this is cool 
I found one paper that has some practical info:

I'm pretty sure I've seen something about cinnamaldehyde diacetate somewhere....

Here's a prep of a benzylidene diacetate: http://orgsyn.org/Content/pdfs/procedures/cv2p0441.pdf
