Reaktionsschritte

A mixture of sodium phenolate trihydrate (10.2 g; 60 mmole) and benzyl chloride (6.4 ml; 56 mmole) in methanol (150 ml) was pumped through the system (15 ml/minute; 146°-7° C.; 1000-1050 kPa). The MeOH was rotary evaporated off and the residue recrystallised from EtOH to afford colourless needles of phenyl benzyl ether (6.9 g; 67% yield), m.p. 36°-36.3° C.
