The benzylation of cresol was studied under liquid-liquid and solid-liquid phase transfer catalytic conditions. Microwave irradiation was useful only in the solid-liquid phase benzylations. Using acetonitrile as the solvent, the benzylations were fully O-selective, but complete conversions were obtained only in the presence of Cs2CO3. There was no need to use an onium salt. In the absence of solvent, an O-selectivity of ca. 90% could be obtained in the presence of an alkali carbonate and an onium salt. The optimum set of conditions was extended to the reaction of other phenol derivatives and alkylating agents.
苄基化反应在液液和固液相转移催化条件下对甲酚进行了研究。微波辐射仅在固液相苄基化反应中有用。使用乙腈作为溶剂,苄基化反应完全表现出O选择性,但在存在Cs2CO3的条件下才能获得完全转化。无需使用鎓盐。在没有溶剂的情况下,在碱金属碳酸盐和鎓盐的存在下,可以获得约90%的O选择性。最佳条件集合被扩展到其他酚类衍生物和烷基化剂的反应中。
