Participants

Reaction Steps

Cumylphenyl acrylate was prepared in the apparatus described in Example A. One mole of cumylphenol and 2 moles of calcium carbonate were slurried in the presence of 1 liter of toluene solvent. During a period of 2 hours, one mole of acryl chloride was added to the solution while the temperature was maintained at 40° to 50° C. The reaction mixture was filtered and the filtrate distilled at 5 mm Hg. to produce a pale yellow oil boiling at 198° to 203° C. The yield was 84%. Gas chromatographic assay indicated that less than 3% of unreacted cumyl phenol was retained in the product.
