Abstract
polyether molecules are readily available from cheap acetals with a ca talyst system based on ruthenium and tin(LI) chloride. As a model reac tion 1,3-dioxolane 2 reacts with dimethoxymethane 3 to yield 78% of 2, 4,7,9-tetraoxadecane 1. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. Al l rights reserved.
