Abstract

One-step synthesis of safrole, an important flavor compound, was described. Safrole was prepared by Friedel-Crafts reaction of 1,2-methylenedioxybenzene and allyl alcohol with recyclable Catalysts-Nafion-H. Safrole was obtained with a yield of 80 % and little isosafrole was obtained. The catalyst and excess raw material can be recycled and reused.
