Mastagli, Pierre published the artcileComparison of molybdic anhydride, titanium tetrachloride, stannic chloride, and aluminum chloride as catalysts in the synthesis of dioxanes and dioxolanes, Related Products of dioxole, the publication is Compt. Rend. (1962), 2978-80, database is CAplus.
Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and 1,3-butanediol are treated with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of TiCl4 and the glycols are also treated with cyclohexanone in the presence of SnCl4, AlCl3, and MoO3 to give 1,3-dioxolanes, 1,3-dioxanes, and dioxaspiro compounds TiCl4 (2 ml.) and 1 mole diol are heated, 2/3 mole carbonyl compound is added slowly, the mixture is kept for 24 hrs., the product is decanted from unreacted diol, and washed with carbonated H2O. The product is then taken up in C6H6, the C6H6 solution dried, and the C6H6 is distilled from the solution as part of the azeotrope. The carbonyl compounds are PrCHO, BzH, and Me2CO. Prepared in this manner are I (R, R’, R”, b.p., nD, % yield given): Pr, H, H, 132°, n22.6D 1.4332, 90; Ph, H, H, b25 129°, n20D 1.533, 80°; Me, Me, H, 92°, n18D 1.4001, 51; Pr, H, Me, 141-4°, n17.4D 1.4123, 90°; Ph, H, Me, b12 128°, n22.6D 1.5165, 80; Me, Me, Me, 97-9°, n16.6D 1.4038, 53. Also prepared are II (same data given): Pr, H, Me, 159-61°, n17.6D 1.4246, 83; Ph, H, Me, b20 140°, n22D 1.5149, 92°; Me, Me, Me, 131°, n16.4D 1.4203, 42. The diols are treated with cyclohexanone in the presence of MoO3, TiCl4, SnCl4, and AlCl3 to yield the following compounds [b.p., nD, % yield with MoO3, TiCl4, SnCl4, and AlCl3 given]: 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, 176-80°, n20.6D 1.4581, 43, 76, 76, 75; 2-methyl-1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane, 182-6°, n20D° 1.4518, 55, 85, 77, 76; 2-methyl-1,5-dioxaspiro[5.5]undecane, 205-8°, n23D 1.4582, 20.5, 75, 70, 70.
Compt. Rend. published new progress about 1193-11-9. 1193-11-9 belongs to dioxole, auxiliary class Dioxolanes, name is 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, and the molecular formula is C6H12O2, Related Products of dioxole.
