Abstract
The reaction products of the sulfuric acid-catalyzed condensation of cyclooctene or cyclododecene with formaldehyde in acetic acid at 40 °C were investigated. The reaction of cyclooctene gave a mixture of 4,5-hexa-methylene-1,3-dioxane, 2-cyclooctenylmethyl acetate, and 1-acetoxy-2-acetoxymethylcyclooctane, while reaction of cyclododecene gave a mixture of cyclic ethers; one was identified as 3-oxabicyclo[10,3,0]-6-pentadecene, and the others were estimated to be 15-acetoxy-3-oxabicyclo[9,3,1]pentadecane and 12,17-dioxatricyclo[13,3, 0,010,14]-2-octadecene.Keywords
