| Abstract: | Transformations of 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxan on copper-based catalysts were investigated in an integral flow reactor in the gas phase in the temperature range 220–280°C. The main products of splitting were 3-phenylpropanal, 3-phenylpropan-1-ol and allylbenzene, and in some cases, styrene. Suitable reaction conditions were sought for the preparation of 3-phenylpropanal and allylbenzene from 4-phenyl-1,3-dioxan. |
