Abstract

1-(2-Methyl-2-propenoyloxy)-2-(4-acylphenoxy)ethanes II - V and 1-(3-phenyl-2-propenoyloxy)-2-[4-(3-chloropropanoyl)phenoxy]ethane (VI) were prepared by the Friedel-Crafts acylation, in the presence of anhydrons aluminium chloride, of 2-phenoxyethyl esters of 2-methyl- and 3-phenyl-2-propenoic acids with the corresponding acyl chlorides.
