Benzyl Chloride → HCID 14421497, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

90 g (0.44 mol) of 2-allyl-6-cyclopentylphenol, 62 g (0.49 mol) of benzyl chloride and 124 g (0.9 mol) of potassium carbonate are heated under reflux in 800 ml of acetone for 70 h. The cooled reaction mixture is filtered, and the filtrate is concentrated. The residue is taken up in petroleum ether, and the solution is washed three times with 2N sodium hydroxide solution and then once each with water and saturated brine. The organic phase is dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The residue is distilled in vacuo. 118 g (92% of theory) of 1-allyl-2-benzyloxy-3-cyclopentylbenzene are obtained.
