Procedure

The procedure of Example 1 is followed; instead of using potassium hydroxide, 1 mole of potassium hydroxide and 1 mole of sodium hydroxide is utilized, as well as 2 moles of neohexyl chloride. A conversion of about 50% is attained in this procedure. The yields of neohexene, neohexanol, and dineohexyl ether, based on converted neohexyl chloride, are 70.0 mol-%, 6.1 mol-%, and 7.1 mol-%, respectively.
