Reaction Steps

o-Tolyl 2-allyloxyphenyl ether (70 g) was heated at 250° C. with stirring for 30 minutes. To the resultant substance were added pyridine (200 ml) and acetic anhydride (50 g), and the mixture was allowed to stand at room temperature for an hour. The reaction mixture was poured into water (1 l) and extracted with diethyl ether. The extract was washed with dil. hydrochloric acid and water successively, dried over magnesium sulfate and then evaporated. The oily residue (85.0 g) was subjected to distillation under reduced pressure to give colorless oil of o-tolyl 2-acetoxy-3-allylphenyl ether (60.0 g). bp 147°-150° C./0.6 mmHg.
