In this work we examined methods for obtaining 2-alkylacroleins and their derivatives that would render these compounds as cheap and readily available products of organic synthesis. Using aldehydes we show that ethylene glycol, glycerin, and pentaerythritol in the presence of acid catalysts react primarily at the carbonyl group. Maximal yields (50-80%) were obtained when using the cation exchanger KU-2 as the acid catalyst, which also simplified the isolation of the desired products. The 2-alkyl-1,3-dioxacyclanes obtained are of particular interest as monomers, comonomers, and intermediate products of organic synthesis.
