A Study Of Selected Photo Fries Rearrangements, Elwood Lloyd Loveridge
A Study Of Selected Photo Fries Rearrangements, Elwood Lloyd Loveridge
Theses and Dissertations
The Fries rearrangement of phenyl esters is reviewed and compared to the reaction when light is the source of energy. The products are different due to different mechanism of reaction. Light energy causes either free radical or concerted reactions. The S-phenylthiol esters and anilides were studied also. Although many of the rearrangements are the same, we did not see any alkyl migration nor decarboxylation type reactions with either the sulfur or nitrogen compounds. Three papers have been published from this work: Bradshaw, J. S., Knudsen, R. D. and Loveridge, E. L., J. Org. Chem., 35, 1219 (1970); Bradshaw, J. S., …
The Preparation Of M-Ethylphenol And M-Phenylphenol From Resorcinol, Ronald Kenith Robins
The Preparation Of M-Ethylphenol And M-Phenylphenol From Resorcinol, Ronald Kenith Robins
Theses and Dissertations
The lack of a convenient method for the synthesis of m-alkylphenols has long been recognized by organic chemists. Within recent years the study of the physiological properties of these compounds and their derivatives, particularly the curare analogues, has caused much more concern to be placed upon a satisfactory method of synthesis. The problem of their synthesis offered an interesting study in synthetic organic chemistry. Both groupd, the alkyl group and the hydroxyl group of a meta-alkylated phenol, direct to the ortho and para positions. This makes it impossible to prepare the m-alkylphenols by the usual procedures employed in the synthesis …
