1,10-Phenanthroline → HCID 59527293, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Under reaction conditions as described in J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 1560, {[4-(vinyloxy)butoxy]methyl}benzene was obtained using 4-(benzyloxy)butan-1-ol as a starting material. That is, 1,10-phenanthroline (1.00 g) and palladium(II) acetate (2.50 g) were added to a mixture of ethyl vinyl ether (25 mL) and dichloromethane (15 mL), followed by stirring for 15 minutes, and then 4-(benzyloxy)butan-1-ol (5.00 g) was added thereto, followed by stirring at room temperature for 60 hours. The reaction mixture was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=95/5) to obtain {[4-(vinyloxy)butoxy]methyl}benzene (3.24 g).
