Abstract
Catalytic splitting of the dimethylacetals of heptanal, 3-cyclohexylpr opanal, 3-cyclohexylbutanal, 3-phenylpropanal and 3-phenylbutanal to c orresponding unsaturated ethers was studied in a gas phase. Acid catal ysts were employed in the study. Reaction conditions favorable to high splitting selectivity to ethers were suggested. The original acetals as well as synthesized unsaturated methylethers revealed characteristi c odoring properties.
