Reaktionsschritte

To a mixture of di-μ-chlorobis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) [Ir(cod)Cl]2 (1.27 g, 1.9 mmol) and sodium carbonate (24.9 g, 0.23 mol)) in toluene (280 ml) were added 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone (40 g, 0.19 mol) and vinyl propionate (75.1 g, 0.75 mol), followed by stirring at 100° C. in an atmosphere of argon gas for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to find that 2-hydroxy-4-vinyloxyphenyl phenyl ketone [i.e., 2-hydroxy-4-vinyloxyphenyl(phenyl)methanone] and 4-hydroxy-2-vinyloxyphenyl phenyl ketone [i.e., 4-hydroxy-2-vinyloxyphenyl(phenyl) methanone] were formed in yields of 90% and 2%, respectively, with a conversion from 2,4-dihydroxybenzophenone of 99%.
