Reaction Steps
A mixture of 400 g triethylene glycol monoethyl ether (2.2 mol), 48 g paraformaldehyde (1.6 mol), 150 ml toluene and 10 g of an acid ion exchange resin was refluxed for 6 hours in a 1 liter flask equipped with a water separator and reflux condenser. Filtration of the product followed by distillation gave a quantitative yield of the desired product.
