Abstract
The interaction of stoichiometric quantities of glycidol with alkyl dichloromethyl ethers in the presence of 2 equiv. of NEt3 in diethyl ether leads to formation of diglycidyloxy alkoxy methanes whereas the same reaction involving equimolar quantities of the reagents in benzene in the presence of 1 equiv. of NEt3 leads to formation of 4-chloromethyl-2-alkoxy-1,3-dioxolanes.
