Participants

Reaction Steps

A reaction was performed by the procedure of Example 1, except for using 1,4-butanediol instead of 1-octanol and using allyl acetate in an amount of 10 mmol. The reaction mixture was analyzed by gas chromatography to find that 3-(4-allyloxy-butoxy)-propene and 4-allyloxy-1-butanol were formed in yields of 78% and 6%, respectively.
