Participants

Reaction Steps

The same procedure as in Example 8 is repeated with the exception of using 26.8 g of sorbitol, 39.5 g of 2,4-dimethylbenzaldehyde, 50 ml of cyclohexane, 0.4 g of p-toluenesulfonic acid, 30 ml of anisole and 100 ml of ethanol. The reaction is conducted for 2.5 hours, giving a powdery reaction mixture, which is similarly after-treated to obtain di-(2,4-dimethylbenzylidene)sorbitol in a yield of 93% with a purity of 98%.
