HCID 130333-ButenylbenzeneYield 94%

Procedure

Example 1 was repeated except that 1.0 L of tetrahydrofuran was used as a solvent in place of the mixed solvent of 250 ml of tetrahydrofuran and 750 ml of toluene, and 127.0 g (yield 94%) of 4-phenyl-1-butene was obtained. The analysis of the product by gas chromatography indicated the purity of 98.0%.
