- The products of the reaction of the hydroxyl radical with 2-ethoxyethyl acetate
-
The gas-phase reaction products of the OH radical with 2-ethoxyethyl acetate (EEA, CH3C(O)OCH2CH2OCH2CH3) have been investigated. 1,2-Ethanediol acetate formate (EAF, CH3C(O)OCH2CH2OC(O)H)and ethyl formate (EF, HC(O)OCH2CH3) were identified as the two main products. A third product, ethylene glycol diacetate (EGD, CH3C(O)OCH2CH2OC(O)CH3), was also observed. EAF, EF, and EGD formation yields were determined to be 0.37 ±0.03 and 0.328 ± 0.018 and 0.040 ± 0.005. respectively. Proposed reaction mechanisms are discussed and compared with these data. 1996 John Wiley & Sons, inc.

- Cobalt(II) catalyzed oxidation of 2-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes with molecular oxygen
-
Cobalt(II) chloride catalyzed oxidation of 2-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes in 1,2-dimethoxyethane afforded formate esters and acids in high yields.Is was found that the presence of catalytic amounts of ZnCl2 increased the rate of oxidation.A free-radical mechanism is proposed, involving participation of superoxocobalt, and the esterification of the alcohol and acid.
