Kg. Chandra et Mm. Sharma, CATION-EXCHANGE RESINS IN THE SYNTHESIS OF TERT-ALKYL ETHERS OF 2-PHENYLETHANOL, Reactive polymers, 23(2-3), 1994, pp. 239-247
Two useful perfumery compounds, tert-butyl ether and tert-amyl ether o
f 2-phenylethanol (PEA) were synthesized by the etherification of PEA
with isobutylene gas and isoamylene, respectively, in the presence of
macroreticular cation exchange resin as catalyst. A low reaction tempe
rature and a clean method of synthesis and separation of the perfumery
compounds have been shown by this work.
