A NEW EXTENSION OF TISHCHENKO-CLAISEN REACTION. PART II. MECHANISM OF REACTION OF EPOXY ALDEHYDES IN PRESENCE OF ALUMINIUM ALKOXIDES

The reaction of aldehydes 1 with aluminium alkoxides 2 has been investigated.On the basis of kinetic studies and identification of isolated intermediate products, i.e. mixed esters 4 and alkoxides 6, a possible mechanism of the reaction of epoxy aldehydes leading to formation of corresponding diepoxy esters 3 has been proposed.The proposed mechanism is related to that previously postulated for the reaction of acetaldehyde.The presence of new intermediate products obtained under selected reaction conditions enabled us to gain a better insight into mechanism of a Tishchenko type reaction.
