The microwave synthesis of cyclohexanone glycol ketal catalyzed by activated carbon supported p-toluene sulfonic acid was written by Zhang, Ai-Hua;Yin, Du-Lin;Liu, Wen-Ping;Peng, Zhi-Yuan. And the article was included in Guangpu Shiyanshi in 2009.Synthetic Route of C8H14O2 This article mentions the following:
Cyclohexanone glycol ketal was synthesized from cyclohexanone and glycol using activated carbon supported p-toluene sulfonic acid as heterogeneous catalyst without solvent under microwave irradiation The effects of different factors such as mole ratio of reactants, catalyst dosage, microwave irradiation power, microwave irradiation time on the yield of cyclohexanone glycol ketal were carefully investigated. The activated carbon supported p-toluene sulfonic acid exhibited excellently catalytic activity. The best reaction conditions were as follows: the amount of cyclohexanone 0.2 mol, n(cyclohexanone):n(glycol)=1:1.6, the dosage of catalyst was 0.75% of the total mass of the reactants, microwave irradiation power 450W and radiation time 4min. Under this condition, the yield of cyclohexanone glycol ketal was up to 76.7%. The catalyst can be repeatedly used for six times without losing its catalytic activity. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (cas: 177-10-6Synthetic Route of C8H14O2).
1,4-Dioxaspiro[4.5]decane (cas: 177-10-6) 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. Dioxole functionalized metal-organic frameworks have also been recently reported.Synthetic Route of C8H14O2
