Abstract
In the previous report, authors studied the acid catalyzed condensation of octadecene-1 with formaldehyde in acetic acid, and the products were 4-hexadecyl-1, 3-dioxane, 3-pentadecyl-4-hydroxytetrahydropyrane and nonadecadiol-1, 3, respectively.
In this paper, authors investigated the simillar reaction of octene-2 with formaldehyde.
The reaction products were saponified and fractionated mainly by chromathography and following substances were separated.
The characteristics of these substances were identified to those of 4-methyl-5-pentyl-1, 3-dioxane, 3-penthyl-4-hydroxytetrahydropyrane and 2-pentyl-3-hydroxybutanol-1, respectively.
