Abstract

The alkylation of ethanediol and butanediol-1,4 with allyl chloride in a two-phase system composed of an organic phase and an aqueous alkali solution was studied. It was shown that the phase transfer agent not only ensures the phase transfer effect, but also affects the reactivity of the diols. Butanediol-1,4 was alkylated with various alkylating agents. An optimal solvent for O-alkylation under the phase transfer catalysis conditions was found.
