Reaction of 2-mono- and 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-dioxolanes with 1-ethyl-3-hexylaluminacyclopentane
Reaction of 2-mono- and 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-dioxolanes with 1-ethyl-3-hexylaluminacyclopentane involves cleavage of the Al-C bond of the metal cycle and formation, after hydrolysis, ethylene glycol monoethers. Catalytic amounts of ZrCl4 or Ni(acac)
