Preparation of aliphatic alkoxy compounds by reacting 2-substituted (1,3) -dioxolanes with aliphatic alcohols at a temperature of 0 to 150 ° C in the presence of acids and / or halides of elements of group IIb, IIIa, IVb, Va of the periodic Systems and / or of iron, tin, silicon as catalysts. The aliphatic alkoxy compounds which can be prepared by the process of the invention are valuable starting materials for the production of insecticides, crop protection agents and pharmaceuticals. |
