Abstract

When heated with a dicobalt octacarbonyl (Co2 (CO) 8) catalyst under synthesis gas, acetals of aromatic aldehydes (in contrast to aliphatic acetals) gave good yields of the products of reductive cleavage, but no products of hydroformylation. A mechanism is proposed to explain the products of cyclic acetals of benzaldehyde which yielded not only the expected hydroxy-ethers, but also considerable amounts of dibenzyl ethers. The room ...
