4-n-Decyloxybenzoic acid, is used in the syntheis of liquid crystals. It can also be used to react with 3-bromo-propene to produce 5-allyloxy-2-phenyl-[1,3]dioxane. This reaction will need reagent tetra-n-butylammonium bromide and NaH, and the menstruum dimethylformamide. The reaction time is 2 hour with temperature of 20°C,
