    Abstract: Ethers of highly polymeric formaldehyde are obtained by reacting the latter with an alphachoralkyl ether of an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic, heterocyclic or aromatic hydroxyl compound, preferably in the presence of a basic compound, or with a quaternary salt of the alpha-chloralkyl ether with a tertiary amine. Alpha-chloralkyl ethers mentioned are chlormethyl methyl ether, chlormethyl ethyl ether, bis-(chlormethyl) ethylene glycol ether, bis-(chlormethyl) butane-diol-(1,4) ether, chlormethyl cyclohexyl ether, chlormethyl benzyl ether and chlormethyl cyclohexyl ether. In Examples polyformaldehyde is reacted with quaternary salts of dimethylcyclohexylamine with chlormethyl methyl ether, 1,4-bis (chlormethoxy) butane, alpha-chlorethyl isobutyl ether, alpha-chlorethyl benzyl ether and 2,3-dichlordioxane.
