Experimental and theoretical aspects of the condensation of glycerol and its homologs (1,2,3- and 1,2,4-butanetriols) with formaldehyde and acetone are studied under conditions of acid catalysis. Calculation of the thermodynamic parameters of the resulting products by the composite method CBS-QB3 shows that the six-membered heterocycles, the products of the interaction of triols with formaldehyde, are thermodynamically more stable than the five-membered acetals, while the reaction of the same triols with acetone is preferable for the formation of the five-membered acetals. This is due to the fact that the regioselectivity of the studied reactions is determined by the structural features and reactivity of the carbocations formed in a condensed medium during the course of the reaction. According to the theoretical data obtained experimentally, during the condensation of glycerol and 1,2,4-butanetriol with formaldehyde in the most stable form of the six-membered cyclic carbocation, intramolecular hydrogen bonding and anomeric stabilization due to the axially oriented hydroxyl group take place. As a result, cation 1b–1 is 1.2–1.6 kJ/mol more stable than its five-membered isomers (1a–1 and 1b–2). It leads to the predominant formation of 1,3-dioxane (3b). However, upon condensation of butanetriol-1,2,3 with formaldehyde, the intermediate cation 4a–1 turns out to be significantly more stable than the other isomers due to the strong intramolecular hydrogen bond in the six-membered ring with the participation of the hydroxyl group of the substituent and the hydroxyl group of the cationic center, leading to the predominant formation of the dioxolane 6a.
