Abstract

TABLE 1 REACTION OF 0.1 MOLE OF STYRENE OXIDE WITH 0.3 MOLE OF PHENOL^ that an isomeric mixture of the two possible ether- Solvent used Catalyst hr.%% however, that the alkali-catalyzed reaction of propylene oxide with phenols produced predominantly or entirely the isomer having a secondary alcohol group. Alcohols were reported3s416 to react with propylene oxide in a similar manner. In the present investigation it was found that the ...
