Acetone → 2,4-BIS(ALLYLOXY)BENZALDEHYDE

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 6.9 g (50 mmol) of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in 100 ml of acetone was added 12 ml (120 mmol) of 3-bromopropene and 40 g of potassium carbonate and the mixture was refluxed for 3 h under stirring. The mixture was filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give 10.2 g (93%) of 2,4-diprop-2-enyloxybenzaldehyde as slightly reddish crystals.
