Phenylethynyl methyl diethyl ketal

The method has been applied by the submitters2 to the preparation of cyclohexylmethylpropiolaldehyde diethyl acetal (54% yield) from cyclohexylmethylacetylene and triethyl orthoformate of phenylethynyl n-butyl dimethyl ketal (40% yield) from phenylacetylene and trimethyl -orthovalerate and of phenylethynyl methyl diethyl ketal (34% yield) from phenylacetylene and triethyl orthoacetate. w-B utylpropiolaldehyde diethyl acetal was isolated in 32% yield by heating an equimolar mixture of 1-hexyne and triethyl orthoformate containing catalytic amounts of a zinc chloride-zinc iodide catalyst under autogenous pressure at 190° for 3 hours.
