Ethylparaben → 4-[(2-Methylprop-2-en-1-yl)oxy]benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

The reaction of Ethyl 4-hydroxyl-benzoate and 3-Bromo-2-methyl-propene in 2-butanone in the presence of potassium carbonate was performed as described in Example 2 to give 4-(2-Methyl-allyloxy)-benzoic acid as white powder. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO):12.59 (s, —CO2H); 7.86 (d-like, J=8.0, 2 arom. H); 7.02 (d-like, J=8.0, 2 arom. H); 5.04, 4.96 (2 s, —C(CH3)═CH2); 4.53 (s, CH2—C(CH3)═CH2); 1.72 (s, C(CH3)═CH2). 13C-NMR (100 MHz, d6-DMSO): 166.93 (—C═O); 161.87; 140.39; 131.27 (2 arom. C); 123.05; 114.42 (2 arom. C); 112.52; 70.97; 19.12.
