Abstract
1,3-Dioxolane reacted with electron-deficient alkenes, such as diethyl maleate, maleic anhydride, diethyl fumarate and fumaronitrile, under an oxygen atmosphere or in air to give 1:1 adducts in good to excellent yields. The presence of oxygen promoted the reaction. The reaction appears to be characteristic of 1,3-dioxolane. Methylal and ethylal did not react with diethyl maleate under the same conditions.
