Source of material

The mixture of 2,2-bis(hydroxymethyl)butyric acid (1.0135 g, 6.8406 mmol), (Z)-2-bromo-3-phenylacrylaldehyde (1.5881 g, 7.5247 mmol), cyclohexane (10 mL), N,N-dimethylformamide (5 mL) and p-toluene sulfonic acid (0.0751 g, 0.3037 mmol) were refuxed for 4 h. After the mixture was cooled, sodium bicarbonate (0.0281 g, 0.3341 mmol) was added and stirred at room temperature for half an hour. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and then ethyl acetate was added to dissolve the residue. Subsequently, the solution was washed with brine (20 mL × 2) and water (20 mL × 2), respectively. Then the organic layer was dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, fltered. The product was recrystallized from n-hexane to aford colorless crystals (1.2930 g, 3.7897 mmol; yield 55.4%).

Experimental details

Hydrogen atoms were placed in their geometrically idealized positions and constrained to ride on their parent atoms.

Comment

Acetal compounds have a wide application in organic syntheses, because they are used as a protection of carbonyl groups or intermediates [4, 5]. In addition, this type of compounds has insecticidal as well as anti-foaming properties [6, 7]. The crystal structures of some similar 1,3-dioxanes have been reported [8], [9], [10].

There is one crystallographically independent molecules in the asymmetric unit (see the figure). Molecules are pairwise hydrogen bonded to form dimeric units. All bond lengths and angles are in the expected ranges.
