Basic hydrolysis of 3-chloro-1-phenyl-1-propene (cinnamyl chloride) to 3-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol (cinnamyl alcohol) and 1-phenyl-2-propen-1-ol was studied. The effects of the base type, presence of triethylbenzylammonium chloride as a phase transfer catalyst, and temperature were examined.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
