Allyl bromide → HCID 10921078, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

The two-step synthetic procedure of Example 1 was repeated starting with 2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethyl alcohol. In this case 1.2 equivalents of allyl bromide was employed in the alkylation step and the intermediate 4-allyloxyphenethyl alcohol was obtained in 77% yield following vacuum distillation (104-112° C. at 0.2 torr). Esterification of the alcohol with methacrylic acid afforded 4-allyloxyphenethyl methacrylate (AOPMA) in 88% yield.
