Synthesis of acetals or ketals via acetalization or ketalization of aldehydes or ketones with glycols using titania-supported molybdotungstophosphoric acid (H3Mo6PW6O40) as catalyst was written by Yang, Shuijin;Tong, Wenlong. And the article was included in Xiyou Jinshu Cailiao Yu Gongcheng in 2007.Category: dioxole This article mentions the following:
A new environmentally friendly catalyst, H3PW6Mo6O40/TiO2 is reported here. Optimized reaction conditions involved: mass ratio of m(TiO2):m(H3PW6Mo6O40) 1/2.0, volume of water 30 mL, the reflux reaction time 2 h, activated temperature 150°. H3PW6Mo6O40/TiO2 was used as catalyst in the synthesis of acetals and ketals, namely cyclohexanone ethylene ketal (i.e., 1,4-dioxaspiro[4.5]decane), cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal, butanone ethylene ketal, butanone 1,2-propanediol ketal, 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane. Effects of n(aldehyde/ketone):n(glycol), catalyst dosage and reaction time on yield were investigated. Optimized reaction conditions were: n(aldehyde/ketone):n(glycol) = 1.0:1.4; mass fraction of catalyst to reactants, 0.8%; reaction time, 1.0 h and cyclohexane as water-stripping reagent, 10 mL. Under these conditions, yield of cyclohexanone ethylene ketal, cyclohexanone 1,2-propanediol ketal, butanone ethylene ketal, butanone 1,2-propanediol ketal, 2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 4-methyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxolane, 2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane and 4-methyl-2-propyl-1,3-dioxolane were 81.3%, 86.9%, 53.0%, 66.9%, 72.3%, 79.0%, 66.8%, 76.9% resp. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (cas: 126-39-6Category: dioxole).
2-Ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane (cas: 126-39-6) belongs to dioxole derivatives. Dioxoles, particularly fluorinated dioxoles, are used as co-monomers to make polymers that find use in forming protective coatings for chemical resistance. Although benzodioxole is not particularly important, many related compounds containing the methylenedioxyphenyl group are bioactive, and thus are found in pesticides and pharmaceuticals.Category: dioxole
