Schmidt reaction of .alpha.-aralkyl substituted carboxylic acids

“…15 In addition treatment of the polymeric product with sodium azide in ppa did not produce aniline. a Interestingly cis-2-phenyl-2-hexene (6) is slowest to react and is in good agreement with Table III. A study of the rates of polymerization would be necessary to explain why all three olefins are not observed with compound 5.…”

“…Olefin Synthesis.•-The three isomeric phenyl-substituted hexenes, 2-phenyl-1-hexene (4), fra«s-2-phenyl-2-hexene (5), and «"s-2-phenyl-2-hexene (6), were prepared by the dehydration of 2-phenyl-2-hexanol as described by Mohan and Conley.30 Each olefin was obtained by preparative vpc. The elemental analysis and refractive indices of each olefin were in good agreement with authentic samples obtained from A. G. Mohan,30 also, the vpc retention time, ir, and nmr spectra were identical.…”

“…Isolated as aniline hydrochloride. 6 Isolated as benzanilide• c Interestingly, as the concentration of azide was increased under the reaction conditions noted, the yield of aniline was proportionately greater.…”
