Abstract
Abstract Formation of cyclic acetal compounds of the formula BY REACTING A CARBONYL COMPOUND OF THE FORMULA R''R''''C O with a second reactant which is WHEREIN R'' and R'''' are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and an acyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon radical in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of compounds of Periodic Table Groups VB and VIB. For example acetaldehyde is reacted in liquid phase with ethylene oxide in the presence of molybdenum acetyl acetonate to form 2-methyl-1, 3-dioxolane.
