There is no particular restriction on the amount of water used, but since the reaction rate will decrease if a large amount is used, in order to carry out the reaction effectively, it is necessary to use at least an equimolar amount of oxymethylene to the oxymethylene dialkanoate. Up to 10 molecules of water, preferably up to 5 molecules, more preferably up to 2 molecules of water are used per oxymethylene group of the dialkanoates.
