Abstract: 2,2,5,5-Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)cyclopentanone reacts with carbonyl com­ pounds in a 1:2 ratio to give cyclic acetals similarly as α- or β-glycols. These acetals were prepared under catalysis of acids (hydrochloric, sulfuric, and p -toluenesulfonic) or phosphorus pentoxide. Their structure was proved by spectral means (i.r., u.V., and ¹H-n.m.r. spectroscopies).
