Treatment of Trichloroethene and Tetrachloroethene on 2–Pyridine Aldehyde Di–Isobutylacetal at Low Temperature

M. Easuraja, J. Tennis Anthuvan

Abstract :

The reaction of 2-pyridine aldehyde di-isobutylacetal catalyzed by haloethenes in contrast to those catayzed by Lewis acids, N-halocompounds etc., has received only little attention. Aliphatic acetals give ether and alcohols as the major products, while aromatic homocyclicacetals yield esters and ethers as the main products7. This feature induced the authors to take up the title investigation. Haloethenes are synthetically very useful reagents and vary widely in their acceptor synthon character and reactivity, hence their application in the present work.
