Abstract
AbstractThe oxidative decomposition of two structural isomers of dipropylene glycol, i.e. 2,4‐dimethyl‐3‐oxapentandiol‐1,5 (1) and 4‐oxaheptandiol‐2,6 (2) was studied. The maximum rate of oxidation of glycol 1 was ca. 20 times lower than that of glycol 2. In the products of oxidation 15 different compounds were detected for the former glycol and 20 compounds for the latter. The products of decomposition were the mixtures of water and carboxy acid, acetal, alcohol, aldehyde, ketone, ester, unsaturated ether and hydroperoxy type of compounds of different structure. The mechanism of product formation is discussed.
