2-Chloroethyl vinyl ether → 1-Cyclohexyl-4-[2-(ethenyloxy)ethoxy]benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

In 300 ml of toluene was dissolved 83.1 g (0.5 mol) of p-cyclohexylphenol, and to the solution were added 150 g of 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether, 25 g of sodium hydroxide, 5 g of tetrabutylammonium bromide and 60 g of triethylamine, followed by reacting at 120° C. for 5 hours. The reaction solution was washed with water, and the excess 2-chloroethyl vinyl ether and toluene were distilled off. The oil thus obtained was purified by distillation under a reduced pressure to obtain 4-cyclohexylphenoxyethyl vinyl ether.
