General Description

α-Vinylbenzyl alcohol is an allyl alcohol derivative. Its isomerization reaction using a novel ternary catalyst system has been reported. The kinetic resolution of racemic α-vinylbenzyl alcohol by tungsten-catalyzed asymmetric epoxidation method has been repoorted. The coupling reaction of α-vinylbenzyl alcohol and aldehydes in the presence of RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃catalyst and In(OAc)₃ as a co-catalyst in ionic liquids has been investigated. Etherification reaction of glycerol with α-vinylbenzyl alcohol in the presence of sulfonic catalyst immobilized on silica (SiO₂–SO₃H) has been reported.
