Benzyl Bromide → Benzene, [(3-butenyloxy)methyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

NaH (0.24 g) was slowly added to a solution of 3-buten-1-ol (0.72 g) in DMF (15 ml) at 0° C., and the reaction stirred for 30 minutes. Benzyl bromide (1.9 g) was added and the reaction was stirred at 25° C. for 18 hours. The mixture was filtered and concentrated. The residue was dissolved in hexane, washed with water (3×), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. Purification by chromatography over silica gel (5% ethyl ether in hexane) afforded the titled compound.
