Reaction Steps

94 g phenol (1 mol), 155 g anhydrous potassium carbonate (1.2 mol) and 300 mL acetone were added to a three-necked bottle, and stirred at 50° C. for 10 minutes. 107 g 3-bromopropylene (0.9 mol) was added dropwise, then the mixture was refluxed for 2 hours. After acetone was evaporated under reduced pressure, water was added to the residual solution and a solid was isolated. After sucked filtration, 108 g solid was obtained. Yield: 90.1%. MS: 135 (M+1).
