Inoue, Hiroo published the artcilePhoto-oxidation of glycols in the liquid phase, Application of 2,2,4-Trimethyl-1,3-dioxolane, the publication is Kogyo Kagaku Zasshi (1966), 69(4), 654-7, database is CAplus.
The products produced by the irradiation of the ethylene glycol and its derivative with 100 w. high-pressure Hg-vapor lamp in the atm. of O or N, were studied with a gas chromatograph and paper-partition chromatography. In the case of ethylene glycol, AcH, acetaldehyde ethylene acetal, AcOEt and MeOH were identified. Acetone and its ketal and iso-PrOH were obtained in the case of propylene glycol. The dehydrogenation was thought to be predominant in the initial stage of the reaction. On the other hand, the photo-oxidation took place even when the hydroxy group of ethylene glycol was protected by etherification. Ethylene glycol monoacetate was produced from acetaldehyde ethylene acetal. HCHO, formic acid, and Me formate were formed from ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and dimethyl ether.
