Description

3-Phenoxytoluene is a colorless, viscous liquid that is soluble in nonpolar solvents. It is used as a raw material for the production of phenoxyethanol and other compounds. 3-Phenoxytoluene can be synthesized by reacting an alcohol with a chloroformate in the presence of copper chloride. This reaction proceeds through the following steps:

Step 1: Alcohol reacts with chloroformate to form an ester and COCl
Step 2: Copper complex reacts with the ester to form an ether and CuCl
Step 3: The CuCl then reacts with COCl to form the desired product and CuCl2
