ABSTRACT:
It has been surprisingly discovered in accordance with the present invention that when dimethoxymethane is reacted with formaldehyde in the presence of an organic peroxide, the reaction preferentially involves an addition of the formaldehyde to the dimethoxymethane to provide a reaction product containing alkyl glycolates such as methyl glycolate and ethyl glycolate as principle products of the reaction. The alkyl glycolates are useful as raw materials for the manufacture of ethylene glycol.
