Production method | The reaction of styrene and bromine produces 1,2-dibromophenane, which is then hydrolyzed to obtain phenyl ethylene glycol. Styrene is added to petroleum ether, bromine is added dropwise under cooling, the temperature is controlled below 15 ℃, stirring for 1h after adding, white crystals of 1,2-dibromophenane are filtered out, and refluxed with water and potassium carbonate for 20h. Cooling, the upper oil is separated, and the water layer is saturated with potassium carbonate to precipitate the oil layer. Split the oil layer. The water layer is extracted with benzene. The extract is combined with the oil layer, the benzene is recovered after drying, and then the phenylethylene glycol is distilled under reduced pressure. |
