“…While he does not say so specifically, Semmler (665) probably used sodium and alcohol to reduce /3-acetoxystyrene to /3-phenethyl alcohol. With sodium and alcohol /3-phenoxystyrene gave a 65 per cent yield of ethylbenzene (710).…”

“…The compound also was prepared in [40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50] per cent yield by treating p-ethylphenol with a large excess of bromine, by brominating the ethyltribromophenol, and by adding hydrogen bromide to the quinoid and normal forms of the corresponding ß-bromostyrene. -Ethoxystyrene reacted instantly with bromine (508), and an unstable dibromide was obtained from ß-phenoxystyrene (710). Treatment of a-phenoxystyrene with bromine gave only tar (635).…”

“…Under the same conditions m-methylstyrene dibromide gave m-methyl-a-bromostyrene (525). On heating at reduced pressure /3-phenoxystyrene dibromide also lost hydrogen bromide, giving a compound postulated as /3-bromo-/3-phenoxystyrene (710).…”

“…/3-Phenoxystyrene reacted with ethyl alcohol in the presence of potassium hydroxide at 200°C. to give /3-ethoxystyrene and a little styrene (710). /3-Methoxystyrene has been postulated as an intermediate in the preparation of phenylacetaldehyde by treating styrene iodohydrin methyl ether with silver nitrate (741).…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based startup 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.
