Summary
-
1.
A study has been made of the addition of 2-chloroethanol to alkyl vinyl ethers.
-
2.
It has been shown that the reaction is brought about in a very simple manner — by mixing equimolecular amounts of the components—and is accompanied by an exothermic effect.
-
3.
Five new alkyl 2-chloroethyl acetals have, been prepared: the 2-chloroethyl methyl, 2-chloroethyl propyl, 2-chloroethyl isopropyl, 2-chloroethyl isobutyl, and 2-chloroethyl isopentyl acetals of acetaldehyde.
-
4.
These acetals, like other mixed acetals, are able to undergo disproportionation with formation of two symmetrical, dialkyl and bis(2-chloroethyl), acetals.
