A two-step reaction process for converting ethylene oxide with high selectivity into monoethylene glycol which comprises firstly reacting ethylene oxide with acetone to 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane and secondly hydrolyzing the 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane with water to monoethylene glycol, both steps requiring the presence of a solid acid catalyst. |
