Reaktionsschritte

In a 300-ml three-necked flask equipped with a water separator, 70 g (1 mole) of crotonaldehyde, 144 g (2 mole) of crotyl alcohol, 3 mg of stannous chloride dihydrate and 40 g of hexane were charged. The resulting mixture was heated at 70° C. under atmospheric pressure and for 4 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere while removing the water formed from the reaction mixture by azeotropic distillation. When water was no longer distilled, the solvent (hexane) and unreacted starting materials were distilled off under reduced pressure. Distillation of the residue under reduced pressure gave 182.2 g of crotonaldehyde dicrotyl acetal [R1 =a 1-propenyl group, R2 =a hydrogen atom and R3 =a crotyl group) (boiling point: 120° C./25 mmHg) (yield: 91.9%).
