 |  | 2-BENZYL-1,3-DIOXOLANE Usage And Synthesis |  
 | Chemical Properties | Clear colorless to pale yellow liquid |  | Occurrence | Has apparently not been reported to occur in nature. |  | Preparation | By condensation of phenylacetaldehyde and ethylene glycol (Arctander, 1969). |  | Safety Profile | Moderately toxic by ingestion andskin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits acridsmoke and irritating fumes. |  | Metabolism | Phenylacetaldehyde ethyleneglycol acetal is presumably capable of being hydrolysed to form phenylacetaldehyde and ethylene glycol (Fassett, 1963). |  | Purification Methods | Dissolve 2-benzyl-1,3-dioxolane in CH2Cl2, wash well with 1M NaOH, dry over K2CO3, filter, evaporate and distil it through a short path still (Kügelrohr). It has also been purified by preparative gas chromatography. [Raber & Guida Synthesis 808 1974, Lloyd & Luberoff J Org Chem 34 3949 1969, Beilstein 19 III/IV 220.] |
