Dioxalin is a reaction product ofglycerol withoxalic acid at 533K. ItsIUPAC name is 5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,4-dioxane-2,3-dione. Dioxalin readily loses two molecules of carbon dioxide at this high temperature to formallyl alcohol and therefore offers a method for conversion of glycerol to allyl alcohol.[1][2][3]
