Compound Q&A
How is 1-Chloro-4-vinylbenzene (CAS: 1073-67-2) typically synthesized?
Answer
1-Chloro-4-vinylbenzene is typically synthesized via the reaction of chloroform acetone with sodium ethoxide in ethanol. The reaction involves the deprotonation of acetone to form an enolate ion, which then reacts with chloroform to form 1-chloro-4-vinylbenzene. This process is selective and yields a high percentage of the desired product.
