Reaktionsschritte

In a one liter 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with a condenser, mechanical stirrer and thermometer, 108 grams (0.708 mol) of vinylbenzyl chloride (60/40 m-/p-) and 808 grams (0.815 mol) of potassium acetate were added, followed by 250 mLs of DMSO. The mixture was stirred at 40° C. for 48 hours. After allowing to cool to room temperature, the mixture was diluted with water and poured into a separatory funnel. The organic layer was separated, followed by an extraction of the aqueous layer with chloroform. The combined organic layer was then washed with water, dried over magnesium sulfate and placed on the rotary evaporator to remove the chloroform. 120 grams of the vinylbenzyl acetate product was recovered, to which 10 mg of MEHQ was added as an inhibitor.
