Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

In a similar manner, to a mixture of 11.6 g. of t-butanol and 9.5 g. benzene, under a nitrogen atmosphere, were added 1.36 g (13.7 mmoles) of the disodium salt of triethylene glycol and 1 g. (14 mmoles) of bis-choroethyl ether. The mixture was heated at about 100° C. for approximately 4 hours, aliquot analyses showed little further reaction after about 2 hours, and the resulting mixture was then treated in the conventional manner and about a 45% yield of product (by VPC based on disodium salt reactant) was recovered and identified as cyclic oxyethylene pentamer.
