One‐step polyallylation of phenols

摘要

AbstractA process for one‐step polyallylation of phenols was developed. Phenol is polyallylated in xylene in the presence of 3 moles of finely divided sodium hydroxide. Three moles of allyl chloride are added at such a rate as to maintain the reflux temperature at 110 to 120°C. Water is continuously azeotropically removed. The product contains allyl ethers of mono‐, di‐, and triallyl phenol. The bulk of the material is allyl ether of dially phenol which can be subjected to Claisen rearrangement followed by glycidyl ether formation and epoxidation of the glycidyl ether of triallyl
