α?Vinylbenzyl alcohol may be used in the synthesis of cinnamyl ethers by reacting with alcohols.
α-Vinylbenzyl alcohol may be used in the synthesis of cinnamyl ethers by reacting with alcohols.
α-Vinylbenzyl alcohol is an allyl alcohol derivative. Its isomerization reaction using a novel ternary catalyst system has been reported. The kinetic resolution of racemic α-vinylbenzyl alcohol by tungsten-catalyzed asymmetric epoxidation method has been repoorted. The coupling reaction of α-vinylbenzyl alcohol and aldehydes in the presence of RuCl2(PPh3)3 catalyst and In(OAc)3 as a co-catalyst in ionic liquids has been investigated. Etherification reaction of glycerol with α-vinylbenzyl alcohol in the presence of sulfonic catalyst immobilized on silica (SiO2–SO3H) has been reported.
