Monoether derivatives of diols, whose OH groups are located in the 2 position of carbon atoms with ?-electron pairs
The invention relates to monoetherified diols of compounds wherein the hydroxy groups are located in the 2 position to carbon atoms with ?-electron pairs and methods for producing said functionalised diols. The protective group is a ?CR1R2 group, in which R1 and R2 are alkyl groups, and the protective group contains at least one halogen atom. The monoetherified diols according to the present invention are produced by reacting the diol with a halogenated alcohol CHOR1R2 in the presence of a catalyst acid. Suitable catalyst acids are Lewis or Bronsted acids.<p>
The monoetherified diols allow for the targeted production of further derivatives of diols such as, for instance, the corresponding amino alcohols and amino carboxylic acids. The amino, hydroxyl, and carboxylic groups thus obtained can be converted into many other functional groups.
