2-Chloroethyl vinyl ether → 1-Cyclohexyl-4-[2-(ethenyloxy)ethoxy]benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 300 ml of toluene was dissolved 83.1 g (0.5 mole) of p-cyclohexylphenol. Thereto, 150 g of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether, 25 g of sodium hydroxide, 5 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 60 g of triethylamine were added and underwent reaction at 120° C. for 5 hours. The resulting reaction solution was washed with water, and therefrom the excess chloroethyl vinyl ether and toluene were distilled away. The oil thus obtained was purified by reduced-pressure distillation to yield 4-cyclohexylphenoxyethyl vinyl ether.
