Benzyl Chloride → HCID 21880806, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

2,6-Diallylphenol (3.48 gm, 0.025 mol) was diluted with methanol (50 ml) and sodium hydroxide (0.8 gm 0.02 mol) was added to the solution followed by the benzyl chloride (3.60 gm, 0.2 mol.). The solution was refluxed for 2 hr, cooled, poured onto water and extracted with hexane. After washing with water and dilute sodium hydroxide, the organic layer was dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated to give 2,6-diallylphenyl benzyl ether. MS m/z 264 (M+ calcd for C19H20O=264). H NMR (300 MHz, CDCL3) d 3.45–3.55 (d, 4, CH2 allyl), 4.85 (s, 2, CH2 benzyl), 5.05–5.20 (m, 4, CH2 vinyl), 5.96–6.15 (m, 2, CH vinyl), 7.10–7.25 (m, 3, aromatic), 7.35–7.70 (m, 5, aromatic). Oxidation of the product as described in Example 1 gave 2,6-di(2,3-epoxyypropyl) phenyl benzyl ether as an oil. MS m/z 296 (M+ calcd for C+H20O3=296). H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) d 2.60–2.70 (m, 2, CH2 epoxypropyl), 2.75–3.10 (m, 6, CH2 epoxypropyl), 2.31–2.46 (m, 2, CH2 epoxypropyl), 4.75 (s, 2, CH2O), 7.10–7.25 (m, 1, aromatic) 7.45–7.60 (m, 2, aromatic), 7.60–8.15 (m, 5, aromatic).
