J. Masamoto et al., A NOVEL CYCLIC FORMAL, 1,3,5,7-TETRAOXACYCLONONANE, FROM THE DIRECT REACTION OF 1,3,5-TRIOXANE AND ETHYLENE-OXIDE, Chemical communications, (17), 1998, pp. 1809-1810
A new reaction between 1,3,5-trioxane and ethylene oxide has been obse
rved and a novel cyclic formal, which is the reaction product of 1 equ
iv. of 1,3,5-trioxane and 1 equiv. of ethylene oxide, has been isolate
