3,4-dimethyloxolane

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: Using the reaction procedure described above, dimethyl carbonate is reacted with bis(1-chloro-2-propyl) ether to produce 2,6-dimethyl-p-dioxane, with 1,4-dichloro-2-methylbutane to make 3-methyltetrahydrofuran, with 1,4-dichloro-2,3-dimethylbutane to make 3,4-dimethyltetrahydrofuran, and with chloromethyl 2-chloroethyl ether to produce 1,3-dioxolane.
