Derivatives of Pentaerythritol, IV. - Identification of By-products in Pentaerythritol Process Liquors

Several previously unknown by-products of the pentaerythritol synthesis were identified by comparison of their GC/MS spectra with the spectra of pure compounds.Furthermore, pure 2-hydroxymethyl-2-(methoxymethoxymethyl)-1,3-propandiol (5) was isolated from mother liquors, and the reference compounds 5-hydroxymethyl-1,3-dioxane-5-carboxylic acid (6) and 3--2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)propanoic acid (7) were synthesized.
