Abstract:A new catalytic system CsFNaOH was developed for the synthesis of mono-and divinyl ethers of alkanediols exceeding in efficiency KOH. The nucleophilic addition of diols to acetylene in the presence of this system occurs both at enhance pressure (without solvent, 140160°C) and atmospheric pressure (in DMSO medium, 100°C) of acetylene. Conditions were established of a selective preparation in a high yield of divinyl ethers from diols.

“…The impressive aspect of the CsF/NaOH in DMSO system is not necessarily the observed increase in catalytic activity for vinylation of alcohols but the much better yields obtained in the vinylation of polyols with more than three carbon atoms between the OH groups. Thus, the vinylation of 1,4-butanediol using acetylene at atmospheric pressure and 100 °C in DMSO with 20 mol % CsF/NaOH affords the divinyl ether in 86% yield, whereas with 20 mol % KOH only a 10% yield of divinyl ether was obtained under the same conditions . In a different study it was shown that it is possible to catalyze this reaction with potassium alkoxides in aromatic solvents in the presence of crown ethers to solubilize the alkoxide.…”
