A METHOD FOR SYNTHESIS OF DIBENZYLIDENE SORBITOL IN HIGH YIELDS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for synthesis of dibenzylidene sorbitol, in high yields, the method comprising heating dimethyl benzaldehyde and D-sorbitol in the presence of a bronsted acid catalyst at a temperature in the range of 50 to 150 degrees wherein the heating is carried out by microwave irradiation. The invention also relates to dibenzyidene sorbitol synthesized by the method and to Clarified polyolefin prepared by using dibenzyidene sorbitol.
