2-propan-2-yl-1,3-dioxolane

Conditions: temp:200.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 20 g of 2-isopropyl-1,3-dioxolane and 100 g of ethylene glycol were combined in a 300 mL stainless steel autoclave. 2.0 g of 5% Pd/C catalyst were added and the autoclave was sealed. The reactor was heated to 200° C. The reactor was then brought to an operating pressure of 3.45 MPa and stirring commenced at 750 rpm. Pressure was maintained through the duration of the experiment. After 2 h, the autoclave was cooled and remaining gas vented. The autoclave was opened, its contents filtered, and the filtrate analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). 83% conversion of the acetal mixture was observed. Upon analysis of the results, the mixture was found to demonstrate 95.8% selectivity to 2-isobutoxy-ethanol. the autoclave was sealed Pressure was maintained through the duration of the experiment the autoclave was cooled its contents filtered
