Abstract
Reactions of acetyl iodide with butyl vinyl ether, 1,2-divinyloxyethane, phenyl vinyl ether, 1,4-di-vinyloxybenzene, and divinyl ether were studied. Vinyl ethers derived from aliphatic alcohols (butyl vinyl ether and 1,2-divinyloxyethane) react with acetyl iodide in a way similar to ethyl vinyl ether, i.e., with cleavage of both O–Csp2 and Alk–O ether bonds. From butyl vinyl ether, a mixture of vinyl iodide, butyl acetate, vinyl acetate, and butyl iodide is formed, while 1,2-divinyloxyethane gives rise to vinyl iodide, vinyl acetate, and 2-iodoethyl acetate. The reaction of acetyl iodide with divinyl ether involves cleavage of only one O–Csp2 bond, yielding vinyl acetate and vinyl iodide. In the reactions of acetyl iodide with phenyl vinyl ether and 1,4-divinyloxybenzene, only the O–CVin bond is cleaved, whereas the O–CAr bond remains intact.
