Paragraph 0158; 0159; 0160; 0161; 0162-0173, (2019/02/28)
The present invention provides a method for producing a diol having a cyclic acetal skeleton, in which the method include an acetalization reaction step of obtaining a diol having a cyclic acetal skeleton by subjecting raw material hydroxypivalaldehyde and at least pentaerythritol and/or trimethylolpropane to an acetalization reaction under an acid catalyst and the raw material hydroxypivalaldehyde can contain a prescribed amount of at least one impurity selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, neopentyl glycol, an ester compound having a neopentyl glycol skeleton represented by formula (III), and isobutyraldehyde.
PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF A SPIROGLYCOL

Page/Page column 3, (2017/01/09)
Disclosed is a process for production of a spiroglycol by subjecting pentaerythritol to reaction in water with hydroxypivaldehyde in presence of a catalytically active amount of at least one acid catalyst and seed particles, wherein pentaerythritol, water, at least one acid catalyst and spiroglycol seed particles are charged to a reaction vessel, equipped with heating/cooling and agitation, and under stirring heated to a predetermined reaction temperature followed by progressive addition of hydroxypivaldehyde. The spiroglycol seed particles are present in an amount of 0.5-1.0% by weight, calculated on pentaerythritol, water, acid catalyst and hydroxypivaldehyde, and the hydroxypivaldehyde is charged at a rate determined over time by monitoring growth and/or formation of yielded spiroglycol particles.
