Alkylation of phenols with compounds with mixed functions

Communication 4. Alkenylation of m- and p-cresols with 4-penten-l-OL

Summary

  1. 1.

    An investigation was made of the alkenylation of m- and p-cresols with 4-penten-1-ol in presence of phosphoric acid.

  2. 2.

    As a result of the alkenylation the corresponding (methylbutenyl) cresols and their cyclization products (chromanes) were obtained.

  3. 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.
