Allyl bromide → HCID 22718066, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

6-Methoxy-2-naphthol (22.1 g, 127.0 mmol) was dissolved in acetone (200 ml). Potassium carbonate (70.2 g, 508.0 mmol) and allyl bromide (16.5 ml, 191.0 mmol) were added to the resulting solution followed by stirring for 2 days at room temperature. After the reaction mixture was filtered, the organic solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure. Water was added to the residue, which was then extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The organic solvent was distilled off again to give 6-methoxy-2-(2-propenyloxy)naphthalene (24.9 g, Yield 91%) as a crude product.
