Phenol → Allyl phenyl ether

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a reaction vessel equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, and reflux condenser 94 g (1.0 mol) of phenol, 40 g (1.0 mol) of NaOH, and 210 g of acetone were introduced. With stirring the contents, the internal temperature was elevated to 40° C. Subsequently, 76 g (1.0 mol) of acryloyl chloride was added dropwise thereto over 1 hour. After completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction mixture was further kept at 40° C. for 2 hours and reacted thereby. The reaction product was filtered to remove the NaCl yielded as a by-product, and the acetone was thereafter removed under reduced pressure to obtain 134 g of allyl phenyl ether.
