2-methoxyethylbenzene

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A solution of methylphenethylether (1.0 g, 7.34 mmol), NBS (1.96 g, 11.01 mmol) and AIBN (240 mg, 1.47 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (30 ml) was heated under reflux for 2 hours. After cooling, the reaction mixture was diluted with saturated aqueous solution of sodium bicarbonate and extracted with chloroform. The extract was washed with saturated brine, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to give a crude 2-methoxy-1-phenylbromoethane (1.33 g, 84%) as brown liquid. under reflux for 2 hours After cooling extracted with chloroform The extract was washed with saturated brine dried over magnesium sulfate concentrated under reduced pressure

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: A mixture of (2-bromoethyl)benzene (2.0 g) and methanol (60 mL) in a PEEK vessel equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar was placed into the reactor, and the cover sealed. The mixture was stirred and heated to 149° C. (1.08 MPa) within 10 min and held at this temperature for 2 hours. Samples were withdrawn periodically and analysed. The mixture was then cooled. After 1 hour the conversion to (2-methoxyethyl)benzene was 50% increasing to 80% after 2 hours. GC/MS: m/z (rel.int. %) 136(M +, 13), 104(8), 91(28), 77(6), 65(11), 63(4), 51(9), 50(4), 45(100). 1H NMR, (CDCl3 ; 200 MHz): δ7.23, m, 5H, Ar; 3.6, t, 2H, --CH2 --O--CH3 ; 3.4, s, 3H, --O --CH3 ; 2.9, t, 2H, Ar--CH2 --. equipped with a magnetic stirrer bar the cover sealed Samples were withdrawn periodically The mixture was then cooled After 1 hour the conversion to (2-methoxyethyl)benzene was 50% increasing to 80% after 2 hours
