Intramolecular dehydrohalogenation during base-mediated reaction of diols with dihaloalkanes.
Sodium alkoxides of a variety of diols were reacted with dibromoalkanes. It was found that the products of the reaction were alkenyl ethers resulting from intramolecular dehydrohalogenation of the initially formed monobromo ethers.
