The present invention relates to a method for preparing a styrenic olefin.
The method of the present invention comprises the steps of: adding a
catalyst and a solvent in a reactor and heating the reactor to create a
reflux state; adding an alcohol starting material to the reactor dropwise
at a constant rate; removing water generated by adding the alcohol
starting material from the reactor, and purifying the obtained styrenic
olefin. The method of the present invention is advantageous in minimizing
byproducts and preparing styrenic olefins having a variety of
substituents in high yield.
