Summary
-
1.
An investigation was made of the alkenylation of m- and p-cresols with 4-penten-1-ol in presence of phosphoric acid.
-
2.
As a result of the alkenylation the corresponding (methylbutenyl) cresols and their cyclization products (chromanes) were obtained.
-
3.
The alkenylation of cresols with 4-penten-1-ol proceeds by a mechanism that differs from that of alkenylation with allyl alcohol. 1,4-Pentadiene forms an intermediate product in the reaction.
