Synthesis of 2,3-Diphenylacrolein Acetals

摘要

Linear acetals have been synthesized by decompositiontrans- andcis-1,1-dichloro-2,3-diphenylcyclopropanes in the presence of aliphatic alcohols (ethanol and butan-1-ol). The reactivities of puretrans- andcis-stilbenes and styrene toward dichlorocarbene have been compared. The structure of the isolated compounds was determined by NMR and GC/MS.
