Abstract
Abstract Mono- and poly-ethylene glycol dialkyl ethers I R.sup.1 --O--(--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--).sub.n --R.sup.2 where R 1 is C 1 -C 4 -alkyl, R 2 is C 3 -C 5 -alkyl and n is from 1 to 100, are prepared by reacting monoalkyl ethers II R.sup.1 --O--(--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--).sub.n --H with a C 3 -C 5 -olefin III in the presence of an acid ion exchanger at from 1 to 200 bar and from 40° to 150° C., the reaction being started at from 100° to 150° C. and the temperature then being lowered, in at least two approximately equal steps, to from 40° to 80° C., the temperature being dropped in each case to the next-lower level when the conversion per unit time no longer changes significantly.

A process for the preparation of mono- and polyethylene glycol dialkyl ethers of the general formula I R.sup.1 --O--(--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O--).sub.n --R.sup.2 I where R 1 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 2 is alkyl of 3 to 5 carbon atoms and n is from 1 to 100, by reacting monoalkyl ethers II R.sup.1 --O--(--CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --O).sub.n --H II with an olefin (III) which corresponds to the radical R 2 , in the presence of an acid ion exchanger at from 1 to 200 bar and from 40° to 150° C., wherein the reaction is started at from 100° to 150° C. and the temperature is then lowered, in at least two approximately equal steps, to from 40° to 80° C., the temperature being dropped in each case to the next-lower level when the conversion per unit time no longer changes significantly.
