Summary

  1. 1.

    1,2-Dimethoxyethylene adds acetic acid at the double bond, with formation of the semi-acylal of acetoxyacetaldehyde. When methylal is added, 1,1,2,3-tetramethoxypropane is formed.

  2. 2.

    1,2,-Diacetoxyethylene adds methanol, forming the methyl acetal of acetoxyacetaldehyde. 1,2,-Diacetoxyethylene reacts with ethylene glycol, being converted to the corresponding semi-acylal.

  3. 3.

    When acetoxyacetaldehyde reacts with ethylene glycol the symmetrical acetal of acetoxyacetaldehyde is formed.
