Claims
- 1. A non-toxic and non-mutagenic haloacetoxyalkyl ether having the formula: ##STR10## wherein R is X, a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 aryl substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, R' is H or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl group, and X is chlorine or fluorine.
- 2. A bis-trifluoroacetoxymethyl ether having the formula: ##STR11##
- 3. A process for the manufacture of the trifluoroacyloxyalkyl ether of claim 1 or 2 comprising reacting trioxane with an acid anhydride in an acid catalyzed reaction for a time and at a temperature sufficient to form the ether.
- 4. The process of claim 3 wherein the acid anhydride is trifluoroacetic anhydride.
- 5. The process of claim 3 or 4 wherein the reaction is catalyzed by sulfuric acid at room temperature.
- 6. In the process for the manufacture of bis-quaternary compounds comprising alkylating an amine, pyridine, acetal, or pyridine derivative, the improvement comprising using as the alkylating agent a haloacetoxyalkyl ether having the formula: ##STR12## wherein R is X or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 aryl substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group, R' is H or a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl group, and X is chlorine or fluorine.
- 7. The process of claim 6, wherein the alkylating agent is a bis-trifluoroacetoxy methyl ether.
- 8. The process of claim 6, wherein the alkylating agent is bis-trichloroacetoxymethyl ether.
