Abstract

The present communication describes a simple two-step preparation of alkyl allyl ethers by reaction of normal long chain alcohols (C12-C,,) in hexane with allyl bromide in the presence of phase-transfer catalyst, tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), and aqueous alkali; direct hydroxylation with the recently developed novel reagent cetyltrimethylammonium permanganate (CTAP) 6 in dichloromethane yielded the ...
