Synthesis of novel multisite phase-transfer catalysts and their applications to the catalyzed reaction of bisphenol A and allyl bromide
In this work, an effective and easy-preparation multisite phase-transfer catalyst has been developed. The etherification of allyl bromide with bisphenol A catalyzed by this multisite phase-transfer catalyst was carried out in the presence of alkaline solution. The reaction parameters, including distribution coefficients, mass-transfer coefficients, and Damkohler numbers, were used to describe the kinetics of the etherification reaction. The object of this work is to investigate the influence of the selection of reaction parameters on the kinetics of phase-transfer catalyzed etherification. A pseudo-first-order rate law is sufficiently applied to describe the kinetic behaviors of the reactions. The investigation considered effects of the parameters and conditions, including agitation speed, amount of organic solvent, amount of phase-transfer catalyst, amount of potassium hydroxide, catalyst structure, volume of water, inorganic salt, surfactant, cocatalyst, kind of organic solvent, and temperature, on the conversion of allyl bromide in etherification. The consequence of multisite phase-transfer catalyst on the reaction rate is contemplated. It is concluded that the phase-transfer catalytic reaction is recommended to be carried at a relatively low temperature in order to avoid the Claisen rearrangement of diallyl ether bisphenol A.
