7. Use of p-Tolualdehyde
p-Tolualdehyde can be used as organic synthesis intermediates and essence. And it can react with allyl-trimethyl-silane to get 1-p-tolyl-but-3-en-1-ol. This reaction will need reagent dealuminated zeolite-Y exchanged with rare earth metal and solvent nitromethane. The reaction time is 18 hours at reaction temperature of 80 °C. The yield is about 55.0%.
