Cyclotrimerization of Aliphatic Aldehydes Catalyzed by Ionic Liquids.

Abstract

Other 6-membered heterocycles R 0670 Cyclotrimerization of Aliphatic Aldehydes Catalyzed by Ionic Liquids. -A new method for the synthesis of trialkyl trioxane derivatives is presented. Best results are achieved using FeCl3-based ionic liquid as catalyst which can be recovered easily and reused without loss of activity. -(YU, X.-Y.; LIU, C.-H.; YANG, J.-G.; HE*, M.-Y.; Chin.
