Allyl Alcohol → HCID 21288544, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

88 g (1.1 mol) of 50% sodium hydroxide solution are treated with 4.6 g (0.016 mol) of tetrabutylammonium chloride. At a temperature of 35° C. there is added dropwise within about 20 minutes while stirring well a mixture of 182.5 g (1.0 mol) of p-tert-butylbenzyl chloride and 61.5 g (1.06 mol) of allyl alcohol. The temperature is held at <70° C., which is accomplished if necessary by slight cooling. The mixture is stirred well at 70° C. for a further 12 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture is washed twice with dilute hydrochloric acid. 204 g of practically pure p-tert-butylbenzyl allyl ether are obtained. The substance can be used without distillation for the next step.
