Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to a process for preparing chloroacetaldehyde acetals of monohydric, dihydric or higher-functionality aliphatic alcohols, in which the chloroacetaldehyde acetal is obtained from an aqueous chloroacetaldehyde solution in the presence of the alcohol to be acetalized and an acid catalyst by azeotropic removal of water with the aid of a solvent, wherein the solvent is a halogenated solvent.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A process for preparing a chloroacetaldehyde acetal of an aliphatic alcohol, wherein the chloroacetaldehyde acetal is obtained from an aqueous chloroacetaldehyde solution containing 30-50% by weight chloroacetaldehyde in a presence of the aliphatic alcohol to be acetalized and an acid catalyst by azeotropic removal of water with the aid of a solvent, wherein the solvent is trichloromethane. 2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aliphatic alcohol to be acetalized is a monohydric, dihydric or higher-functionality aliphatic alcohol having from one to twelve carbon atoms. 3. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the acid catalyst is a member selected from the group consisting of an inorganic acid, an organic acid and a strong acid ion exchange resin containing sulfonic acid groups. 4. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the acid catalyst is present in an amount of from 0.01 mol % to 2 mol % based on the chloroacetaldehyde used. 5. The process as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the acid catalyst is a member selected from the group consisting of an inorganic acid, an organic acid and a strong acid ion exchange resin containing sulfonic acid groups. 6. The process as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the acid catalyst is present in an amount of from 0.01 mol % to 2 mol % based on the chloroacetaldehyde used.
