Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

A mixture of bisphenol A (Sigma-Aldrich) (16.78 g, 74 mmol), allyl bromide (Sigma-Aldrich) (24.00 g, 200 mmol), potassium carbonate (Sigma-Aldrich) (30.00 g, 217 mmol), eighteen-crown-six (Sigma-Aldrich) (0.10 g), and acetone (250 ml) was mechanically stirred at 50° C. for 17 hours. The mixture was then filtered, and the filtrate concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (10 wt % ethyl acetate in hexane) to yield bisphenol A diallyl ether as a colorless oil (20.00 g).
