A kinetic and mechanistical studies of the new pathway for competitive transformation of ethylene glycol by alumina and silica gel have been described. Commercial alumina (Al com), synthetic alumina (Al syn), commercial silica gel (Si com) and synthetic silica gel (Si syn) were used for the transformation of ethylene glycol to a mixture of diethylene glycol, 1,4-dioxane and 2-methyl-1,3-dioxolane via acetaldehyde by heating at 150 °C under autogenous pressure without solvent. The results show that the yield of these three products strongly depends on the nature of the used catalyst and the reaction time.

Herein, we report an efficient transition metal triflate catalyzed approach to convert biomass-based compounds, such as monoterpene alcohols, sugar alcohols, octyl acetate and tea tree oil, to their corresponding olefins in high yields. The reaction proceeds through C-O bond cleavage under solvent-free conditions, where the catalytic activity is determined by the oxophilicity and the Lewis acidity of the metal catalyst. In addition, we demonstrate how the oxygen containing functionality affects the formation of the olefins. Furthermore, the robustness of the used metal triflate catalysts, Fe(OTf)3 and Hf(OTf)4, is highlighted by their ability to convert an over 2400-fold excess of 2-octanol to octenes in high isolated yields.

A number of cyclic ethers, namely tetrahydrofuran, 2,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, 1,4-dioxane, oxepane, oxocane, and 1,4-oxathiane, have been synthesized in high yields by intramolecular dehydration of diols in the presence of copper-based catalysts.
