The reaction between 2-alkoxypropenals and 2-mercaptoethanol was studied at 20 and 60degreesC by means of H-1 NMR and GC-MS methods. Under kinetically controlled conditions (20degreesC, 7-30 days) with no catalyst the addition of 2-mercaptoethanol to 2-alkoxypropenals occurs along Markownikoff rule. The arising 2'-hydroxyethylthio-2-alkoxypropanal undergoes isomerization into the 2-hydroxy-3-alkoxy-3-methyl-1,4-oxathiane that at heating in the presence of catalytic amounts of acids is converted into 2-methyl-2-formyl-1, 3-oxathiolane. The reaction of 2-alkoxypropenals with 2-mercaptoethanol at heating (60degreesC, 3 h) in the presence of acids affords 2-methyl-2,2'-bi(1,3-oxathiolane) even at 2-mercaptoethanol deficit. At the double excess of the latter the 2-methyl-2,2'-bi(1,3-oxathiolane) was obtained in quantitative yield. The presumable schemes of conversion of 2-hydroxy-3-alkoxy-3-methyl-1,4-oxathiane into 2-methyl-2-formyl-1,3-oxathiolane and 2-acetyl-1,3-oxathiolane are discussed.
