Reaction Steps

The same experiment as in Example 4 was carried out, except for using a mixed solvent of CPME and THF (1:1 by volume) instead of 50 ml of CPME. The resulting reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to confirm that 2-mesityl-2-propanol and α-methyl-2,4,6-trimethylstyrene were obtained in a yield of 66.8% and 14.7%, respectively.
