title: Ozonolysis of long-chain cyclic acetals: formation of monoesters.
abstract: A procedure is described for the quantitative conversion of saturated long-chain cyclic acetals of diols to the corresponding O-acyl diols. Acetal ozonolysis proceeds in ethyl acetate-methylene chloride solution at -16 to -18 degrees C without overoxidation.
