Reactions between vinyl compounds and multifunctional compounds communication 1. Reactions of alkyl vinyl ethers with glycerol

Abstract

1. A study has been mark of the reactions of ethyl vinyl ether and of butyl vinyl ether with glycerol in pressure of these of hydrogen chloride, the reactants being taken in equimolecular proportions. The main reaction products were 1,2- and 1,3-O-ethylidineglycerol from ethyl vinyl ether and 1,2-O-ethylideneglycerol from butyl vinyl ether. 2. The formation of 1,2- and 1,3-O-ethylideneglycerols from ethyl vinyl ether and glycerol, and also of 1,2-O-ethylideneglycerol from butyl vinyl ether and glycerol, evidently ???? ?? ??? the formation of the corresponding mixed acetal, which then undergoes cyclization.
