Hydroarylation of styrenes with electron-rich arenes over acidic ion-exchange resins

A series of acidic cation-exchange resins were used for the hydroarylation of resorcinol with styrene, in which resin D072 exhibited the excellent catalytic performance in this reaction with 99% conversion of styrene and 90% selectivity of 4-(1-phenylethyl)resorcinol. It was applied to the hydroarylation of various electron-rich arenes with styrenes, and the hydroarylated products were quantitatively obtained. This catalyst could be used for four consecutive runs with slight decrease in activity. The hydroarylation of resorcinol with styrene over resin D072 in a fixed bed was completed effectively with 94% selectivity and 99% conversion, and this green continuous process is potentially applicable to large-scale productions.

REACTION OF PYROCATECHOL AND RESORCINOL WITH STYRENE IN THE PRESENCE OF ALUMINUM PHENOLATE

The alkylation of pyrocatechol and resorcinol with styrene in the presence of aluminum phenolate leads to a mixture of isomeric (α-methylbenzyl)dihydroxybenzenes, in which the ortho-alkylation products as a rule predominate.
