Diethylene glycol monophenyl ether

Yields of the primary alkyl acrylates vary somewhat, owing to occasional losses through formation of polymer, but are usually in the range of 85-99%. Some secondary alcohols react very slowly, others readily. The method has been applied to more than fifty alcohols, some of which (with percentage yields) are listed below ethyl, 99% isopropyl, 37% -amyl, 87% isoamyl, 95% -hexyl, 99% 4-methyl-2-pentyl, 95% 2-ethylhexyl, 95% capryl, 80% lauryl, 92% myristyl, 90% allyl, 70% fur-furyl, 86% citronellyl, 91% cyclohexyl, 93% benzyl, 81% (3-ethoxyethyl, 99% /S-(/3-phenoxyethoxy) ethyl (from diethylene glycol monophenyl ether), 88%.

Labeled compounds. Acetic- G acid and excess phthaloyl chloride heated to 120° during 3-4 hrs. and kept 1 hr. at this temp, with distillation of the product -> acetyl- G chloride (Y 97%) treated with LiAlH4 in diethylene glycol diethyl ether under Ng, excess L1A1H4 and the resulting alkoxide decomposed with ethylene glycol monophenyl ether, and the product distilled at a bath temp, of 110° ethanol- G (Y 88%).
