TETRAFLUOROBORIC ACID - A NEW CATALYST FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF 1,3-DIOXOLANES. PREPARATION OF HYDROXYACETONE

It is established that tetrafluoroboric acid (HBF4) is an effective catalyst for halogen substitution reactions of oxiranes (epichlorohydrin and 1-bromo-3-methyl-2,3-epoxybutane) with aldehydes and ketones, forming 1,3-dioxolanes in high yield.
