The ozonolysis reaction, followed by reductive workup with sulfur dioxide, as described in Part A of the present procedure, illustrates a general method which has been developed for the preparation of acetals. Application of the procedure is illustrated by conversion of the following olefins in alcoholic solution to the corresponding acetals (1) l-chloro-4-(o-nitrophenyl)-2-butene to o-nitrophenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal in 84% yield (2) l,4-dibromo-2-butene tobromoacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal in 67% yield (3) 3-butenoic acid to malonaldehydic acid diethyl acetal ethyl ester in 61% yield (4) cyclopentadiene to malonaldehyde bis(diethyl acetal) in 48% yield and (5)... 

Dihydrothiophene 1,1-dioxide treated with ozone in abs. ethanol and methylene chloride wtih Dry Ice-methanol cooling and stirring until the soln. becomes blue, treated portionwise with liq. SOg during 10-15 sec., and after 2 min. allowed to warm to room temp, during 8-16 hrs. cis- and trfl -2,6-diethoxy-l,4-oxa-thiane 4,4-dioxide (Y 74-81%) mixed with NH4CI and glacial acetic acid, placed in an oil bath preheated to 125-130°, stirred and refluxed 25-35 min. 4H-1,4-thiazine 1,1-dioxide (Y 69-83%). - By the above ozonolysis process, acetals can be obtained from ethylene derivs. E l-Chloro-4-(o-nitrophenyl)-2-butene and methanol -> o-nitrophenylacetaldehyde dimethyl acetal. Y 84%. F. e. s. W. E. Noland and R. D. DeMaster, Org. Synth. 52, 135 (1972).
