A Novel Synthetic Route to Synthesize 2,4,8, 10-Tetraoxaspiro[5.5]-Undecane from Formaldehyde under Hydrothermal Conditions

摘要

We report here the hydrothermal synthesis of 2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]-undecane by using formaldehyde, the only precursor, in the presence of kaolin clay and boric acid. The reported method is the simplest one to synthesize the aforementioned product.
