By the interaction of 3-chloro(chloroalkoxy)-1,2propanediols with 3-cyclohexene-1-carbaldehyde, unsaturated 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-dioxolanes were synthesised, and by their condensation with hexachlorocyclopentadiene, adducts were obtained that combined in their molecules a dioxolane ring with a hexachloro-substituted norbornene skeleton. A study was made of the effectiveness of the latter as plasticiser/ modifiers for epoxy composites based on bisphenol A epoxy resin ED-20.
Trichloroethanal (II) reacts with the 1,2‐diols (I) in the presence of the catalytic system KU‐2(ion exchanger)‐H2SO4 to yield the 4‐substituted 2‐trichloromethyl‐1,3‐dioxolanes (III).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
