Reaction of Hydrogen Halides with 1,2-Hexadecanediol

Reaction of 1,2-hexadecanediol (I) with hydrochloric acid in the presence of acetic anhydride gives a mixture of 2-acetoxy-1-hydroxyhexadecane (III) and 1,3-hexadecanediol (V).However, a similar treatment of I with hydroiodic acid in the presence of acetic anhydride furnishes 1-iodo-2-acetoxyhexadecane (VII), 1,2-diacetoxyhexadecane (VI) and 1-acetoxy-2-hydroxyhexadecane (IV).Structures of the products III, IV, V, VI and VII have been established on the basis of elemental analyses, spectral data and chemical evidence.
