Abstract

In a previous publication2 it was shown that the rearrangement of alkyl phenyl ethers could be accomplished by the use of boron fluoride as the rearranging agent and that the position occupied by the migrating group was similar to that of an earlier report3 Later, 4 a procedure was outlined by which propylene could be condensed with phenol, using boron fluoride as a catalyst. It was noted, during the rearrangement of alkyl phenyl ethers, that if the reaction ...
