โฆ Synopsis
The reaction of phenol with 1-bromoethylbenzene by liquid-liquid phase-transfer catalysis in an organic solvent/alkaline solution was studied. The effects of solvents, catalysts, temperature, and basic concentration on reaction rate, and the yield of 0-arylation product were studied in order to find the optimum operating conditions for this reaction. The addition of phasetransfer catalyst significantly enhanced the reaction rate and the yield of 0-arylation product, and decreased the decomposition of 0-arylation product. The proper basic concentration could decrease the capability of solvation between catalyst and water, and increase the 0-arylated reactivity. In examining eight kinds of phase-transfer catalysts, benzyltributylammonium cation was found to be the best for increasing the reaction rate and the yield of 0-arylation product.
