Abstract
The interaction of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol with SOCl2 and P4O10 has been studied. In the reaction of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol with SOCl2 a mixture of 1-(4-nitrophenyl)-1-chloroethane, 1,1′-bis-(4-nitrophenyl)diethyl ether, and 4-nitrostyrene (yield 21%) has been formed. The direction of reaction of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol with P4O10 in toluene has been affected significantly by the order of reagents addition and the solution concentration. 4-Nitrostyrene has been obtained in the only case: the addition of P4O10 to diluted solution of D,L-1-(4-nitrophenyl)ethanol and subsequent refluxing. Also the procedure of 4-nitrostyrene preparation via the cleavage of 2-(4-nitrophenyl)ethyl nitrate with alkoxy anion in the alcoholic solution has been upgraded.
