1,3-Di(3-methyl-3-hydroxy-1-butynyl)benzene → Mesitylene

Participants

Reaction Steps

Referring to Table 1 above, the Conversion ("Conv.") was a weight percent conversion and was calculated by: ##EQU1## Selectivity ("Selec.") in Table 1 means, as appropriate: ##EQU2## The Yield means, as appropriate, the yield of 2-methyl-4-(3-bromophenyl)-3-butyn-2-ol: ##STR15## or 1,3-di(3-methyl-3-hydroxy-1-butynyl)benzene: ##STR16## and was calculated as the product of Conversion times Selectivity. Selectivities and yields were calculated only on isolated crude products by gas chromatography with an appropriate internal standard (mesitylene).
